KENNEDY TEMPORARILY SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES
Watertown, MA -- Kennedy for Massachusetts Campaign Manager Nick Clemons
just released the following statement:
"Effective close of business
today, Kennedy for Massachusetts is temporarily suspending all campaign
activities, in light of the growing threat of COVID-19. We don't believe it is
appropriate or wise to continue political activities given the reality that
Massachusetts families and communities are facing. Our top priority is
ensuring our staff, supporters, community, and the general public are safe.
"This suspension will last
one week. We will reassess by close of business on Friday, March 20.
"Our campaign will maintain a
digital presence to ensure we are able to stay in contact with supporters
and the general public as the crisis develops. This includes our digital town
halls and a virtual office. We believe open lines of communication are
essential. But these channels will be used exclusively to share
information related to COVID-19 and the work Joe is doing."
"Congressman Kennedy will
focus his time on his official capacity -- ensuring our Commonwealth and
country have the resources they need to respond to this threat. He will be
present as much as possible across his district and Massachusetts, working in
partnership with local leaders to deliver the resources our communities needs.
"In practice, this means:
· All Kennedy for MA offices will be closed by the end of the
day.
· All staff members will work remotely.
· All fundraising and voter contact will be suspended, saved
for digital communication focused on COVID-19.
"The campaign notified
organizers of the scheduled Western Mass News debate next week of this
suspension and is hopeful all parties involved can work to reschedule."
