FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n BARRY MOORE CANCELS TROY MEET & GREET EVENT ON TUESDAY, MARCH 17TH, <\/strong>\u201cTHIS IS JUST COMMON SENSE, NOT A REASON TO PANIC\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Enterprise, AL–AL-2 Congressional candidate Barry Moore has canceled a Meet & Greet event in Troy, Alabama.\u00a0 The event was scheduled for Tuesday, March 17th at 5:00 PM at Horn Beverage Company, 104 Industrial Blvd in Troy.<\/span><\/p>\n Moore has scheduled a Facebook Live Stream event to replace the Meet & Greet, also at 5:00 PM Tuesday, March 17th on his campaign Facebook page @BarryMooreforCongress.<\/span><\/p>\n The campaign is rapidly moving to an online grassroots strategy to continue to reach out to voters across AL-2 without the risk associated with large gatherings of people.<\/span><\/p>\n Several other events and venues have been in touch with the campaign to cancel or reschedule, and the campaign is working to accommodate these requests.\u00a0 Notifications of cancellations as well as schedules for alternative events such as live streams will be posted on Facebook as they become available.<\/span><\/p>\n Barry Moore said in a statement:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI love to meet people face to face.\u00a0 The best part of this campaign has been traveling across District 2, meeting and talking to everyday people about what\u2019s important to them and why I think I\u2019m the best choice to represent them in Congress next session.\u00a0 It\u2019s what we\u2019ve been doing, and it\u2019s worked well because people like to know who they\u2019re voting for.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNow, we have to do something different.\u00a0 On Sunday the CDC recommended canceling or postponing events or gatherings of more than 50 people.\u00a0 Today (Monday) the White House asked people not to gather in groups of more than 10 for the next 15 days, so that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to follow these guidelines, so most of our face to face events will be canceled for now.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis is just common sense, not a reason to panic.\u00a0 We\u2019ve already moved away from handshakes, so not holding political events where our supporters might be at risk of getting sick is the smart thing, the right thing to do.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve had a great social media presence during this campaign, and we\u2019re going to ramp that up.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to be doing a lot of live streams on Facebook so people can still get to know Barry Moore and where I stand on the issues without risking their health.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cRight now, we don\u2019t know if the primary will be delayed or not, but we\u2019ll keep everyone updated on Facebook with the best information we have.\u00a0 In the meantime, we\u2019re going to continue spreading our message safely, and that includes cutting way back on our in-person campaign events.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n As of 3:10 PM, March 16th there were 22 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Alabama, with 0 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins real-time tracking site.\u00a0 Numbers are expected to rise as more test results become available.<\/span><\/p>\n Barry Moore is a Veteran, a small businessman, and a husband and father of four children from Enterprise.\u00a0 He will be in the Republican runoff election currently scheduled for March 31st.<\/span><\/p>\n For more information:\u00a0 www.BarryMooreforCongress<\/a> or on Facebook @BarryMooreforCongress.<\/span><\/p>\n
