Espy is challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in the General Election.
We must #FlattenTheCurve to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Our staff is working remote and we have postponed all public events & fundraisers for at least the next three weeks, at which point we will reevaluate based on recommendations from public health officials.
