The coronavirus pandemic is forcing many candidates, like Mark Kelly, who are running for office this election year to find other ways to reach out to the public.
Kelly, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona, held a Zoom teleconference with Casa Grande Mayor Pro Tem Lisa Navarro Fitzgibbons, Councilwoman Donna McBride, Casa Grande Economic Development Director Richard Wilkie and local attorney David Fitzgibbons last week to get more information on how the virus has affected city revenues, residents and small businesses.
Navarro Fitzgibbons said the situation at the city changes from day to day but the city has enough financial reserves to maintain its current level of services for a while. However, some of the large capital improvement projects the city has been planning may have to be put off for a while.
