Congressman Good: Past Time to End COVID Mandates

Democrats continue to peddle the fear of "COVID forever" for political purposes. Fortunately, the American people are calling for an end to these unjustified COVID restrictions by their government.  

  • On Wednesday Governor Youngkin signed Virginia Senate Bill 739 which requires schools to allow a parental opt-out for all school mask mandates. I am thankful to Governor Youngkin, and the General Assembly for respecting parents and putting Virginia children first.
  • This week, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and seven other U.S. Senators wrote a letter urging their colleagues to stop funding all vaccine mandates in the most recent federal spending bill. Republicans in the Senate had the power to stop it, but unfortunately, they failed to exercise that power. We need more leaders in Congress who will stand up for the American people and against unconstitutional freedom-crushing mandates. No Republican should support any funding that doesn't end this egregious violation of personal liberty.
  • I was able to speak with Vince Coglianese on WMAL DC radio on Thursday to talk about what was happening in the Senate and what it could have meant for vaccine mandates across the country. You can listen to the full interview here.
  • While crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe ban donors from contributing to the trucker convoys in Canada and the Canadian government is freezing bank accounts, truckers in the United States are headed for Washington D.C. to make their voices heard. I support efforts like these to speak out against freedom-stealing mandates.
