An open letter to a public official

Dear Governor,

I haven’t been an official resident of the state I grew up in for over a month now. Although the time I spent there as an adult wasn’t great from a healthcare standpoint to say the least, my people are there. I am safe where I am, and I will receive healthcare here, but my friends and a portion of my family live and work in the state you are supposedly governing. I cannot really understand why you are being such a nitwit at this moment in history. Small businesses are important, of course, but what about the residents of the state you govern? Public safety? Why has school not been suspended there until AT LEAST May? Why do you constantly post on social? What are you actually do for the residents of your state? Not a thing.

I voted against you when you ran. Your politics were questionable, and you had NO PLAN for healthcare. Look at my friends and family now. As a disabled person, and one of the vulnerable, GET IT TOGETHER. Not for my sake, that ship has long sailed, but for my people. I beg you.

Best,

Lisa Bragg
