Getting Back to Normal in America

For the last two years, the coronavirus pandemic has taken a toll on each one of us physically, mentally, and emotionally. Like so many of you, I’m tired of the lockdowns, the fear, the isolation, and the despair. 

Too many Americans have lost their jobs or businesses. Our kids are falling behind after being kept out of the classroom. Mental health issues, drug overdoses, and violent crime are on the rise all across the country. All because of heavy-handed government policies that are doing more harm than good.

It’s time to get back to normal. That’s exactly what I told President Biden in a letter with more than 70 of my colleagues today urging him to abandon his overbearing and authoritarian approach to combating COVID-19.
We must come together to show the country that the COVID-19 emergency is over. No more mask mandates. No more vaccine mandates. No more school closures or lockdowns. It’s time for the United States to join the rest of the world and return to pre-pandemic life.
