"This morning I tested positive for COVID-19. Fortunately, I'm fully vaccinated and boosted – so my symptoms are mild. I'll follow CDC guidelines and I expect a full recovery.

I'll be quarantining and focusing on getting healthy. I will work virtually, and my office will remain open and ready to serve you!"
