Beldon is not alone at Hogan’s news conferences. He and Jesse Conrad, who signed at Hogan’s earlier coronavirus updates as well as this year’s State of the State Address, have been paired with hearing ASL interpreters, who stand off-camera at each briefing. One of Anna Rose, Patty Moers-Patterson, Becky Frey or Katey Nash has served as that hearing interpreter, translating Hogan and other officials’ spoken English into ASL, which the CDI then relays with added expression and emphasis that bolster the deaf audience’s understanding.
