Congressman Rodney Davis of Taylorville made several stops in central Illinois Tuesday to deliver personal protective equipment, or PPE, to the area's first responding agencies.

Among the stops, was a visit to Micah Gallardo and the DeWitt County Emergency Management Agency along with the Monticello Fire Department.

The Taylorville Republican also stopped at the McLean County Nursing Home, the Savoy Fire Department, and Macon Eastern Star Home.

Thanks to a partnership with John Deere, the United Auto Workers (UAW), and Illinois Manufacturing Association (IMA), face shields were delivered to first responders as they are vital to protecting first responders and others from the coronavirus.
