Dear Gov1 Subscriber,

As our nation continues to endure the devastating consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local governments are, again, doing whatever needs to be done to protect their communities. In our top story this week, we outline a few of these initiatives, including Los Angeles' L.A. Protects initiative, which is connecting local design and manufacturing firms with workers in need on the front lines.

We're also shining a light on how the pandemic is impacting the 2020 primary season. While public health experts have continued to insist that all in-person voting be cancelled or delayed due to the virus, Wisconsin is forging ahead with in-person voting tomorrow.
