BRYAN, Texas — Renee Swann, run-off candidate for the Texas Congressional District 17 seat, has tested positive for COVID-19.
She said she is asymptomatic and will be in quarantine for the next ten days. Swann also said while she is disappointed she won't be headed to the polls to greet voters, she'll continue to contact voters by phone.
She is running against Pete Sessions for the Republican nomination.
Sessions and his wife, Karen, issued a statement after the announcement was made public wishing the Swanns to get well soon.
“We want to send our prayers and best wishes to Russell and Renee Swann for their full recovery from COVID-19," the statement read. "This virus is serious, and everyone must take precautions. We hope to see them on the campaign trail soon.”
