Last Thursday @RepBriscoe and I sent Gov Herbert a request to allow curbside pickup for beer at grocery stores. Many constituents have shifted their grocery shopping behavior and we need to allow beer pickup & delivery to accommodate such shifts. https://t.co/jkvchHOMzp

@KamalaHarris Would love to show you some of the small business side of Salt Lake City. Some businesses are doing quite well & many are struggling to survive the pandemic. While my restaurant @lazizslc has been dramatically impacted, we have made important changes in order to survive. #biden

Restaurants and small biz are NOT happy with the way COVID has been handled. The rush to re-open at all costs, means the economy.. will be paying the cost >& B #downtownslc https://t.co/2Bf0YLWUr9

@MittRomney Hey Senator Romney, how will this help me? I was forced to close my restaurant and furlough 30 staff. I am not sure how long this will go on and I dont yet have clarity from my landlords. Im a viable business - is there a guarantee of support so I can reopen after COVID?

The COVID pandemic has fundamentally changed the way restaurants operate -- in order to survive, most had to change their business model to accommodate take-out & delivery (relying on services like @DoorDash, @UberEats, & @Grubhub).

I agree. I’m glad @cboyack mentioned restaurants which were the frontline industry hit hard by covid & have *many* arbitrary regulatory burdens placed on them by the state. Sealed-container to go drinks should be a no brainer if we’re concerned about survival & competitiveness https://t.co/aBVA3FIs1T
