Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) received 39 pallets of hand sanitizer from Anheuser-Busch.
According to a the Texas Governor’s Office, TDEM will distribute the hand sanitizer to polling locations across Texas for use during early voting and Election Day.
"As Texans prepare to cast their ballots, their health and safety remains our top priority, which is why we are taking extra measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at polling locations," Abbott said. "By distributing hand sanitizer to polling locations across the state, Texans will be able to protect themselves while exercising their right to vote. Thank you to Anheuser-Busch and Silver Eagle Beverages for teaming up with the Lone Star State to help ensure the protection of voters and election workers at the ballot box."
Anheuser-Busch, a Texas employer, said the business is committed to uniting our communities, strengthening our democracy and encouraging even greater participation in the political process.
"One part of this commitment is shifting our production capabilities to donate hand sanitizer so that election officials and voters throughout the state and rest of the country can take part in a safe election this fall," Cesar Vargas with Anheuser-Busch said. "We like to say that ‘beer is bipartisan’ and we are proud to step up and serve our communities during this election season.”
