Bud Kennedy asked, “Where are our leaders?”

The leaders we should follow are in science, medicine, and industry, people who tell us hard
truths – that COVID19 is real, it will not “just disappear,” it is killing people and that we need to
take concerted actions to slow the spread.

Texas lost its chance to curb the pandemic by opening too early without a mandatory mask order.
The elected leaders referred to by Bud Kennedy trade in telling people what they want to hear to
get re-elected. They avoid positions unpopular to their base, instead choosing one that are
contrary to science to the point where people are being harmed.

It is up to voters to choose leaders who examine the evidence, speak to experts and make the
tough decisions that are best for everyone. Leaders who believe in science.
