Jessi Ebben is facing off against Derrick Van Orden in the Republican primary. Currently Ebben works in public relations for a health care organization.
When asked about mask mandates and safer-at-home orders as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Ebben said she was against them and called them "an infringement on our personal liberties."
Ebben said wearing a mask should be left up to each individual.
As the federal government works to reach an agreement on a second COVID-19 stimulus package, Ebben hopes liability coverage is included.
"With the first stimulus package what was missed, and is now hopefully going to be included in the next on as they work through it, is liability coverage for those businesses, universities, schools, non-profits. That they have protection if there is a case that occurs there," she said.
Ebben also said she would like to see a focus on reopening schools in the next stimulus package.
