Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik today voted to pass the Pandemic is Over Act (H.R. 382).
“Today, I voted to force the federal government to confirm what we already know – the pandemic is over. After two years of authoritarian lockdowns due to Democrats’ COVID-19 power grab, I am proud to restore our Constitutional rights and freedoms.
“This authoritarian power grab cost not only hundreds of billions of dollars of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars, but our children missed out on critical development due to school closures and mask mandates and over 15,000 of New York’s seniors and unnecessarily died because of Cuomo’s deadly nursing home order. In my district, the prolonged closure of the Northern Border and forced vaccine mandates on travelers hurt our small businesses, kept families from reuniting, and hindered our tourism industry.
“House Republicans are committed to a future that is built on freedom, and today we are righting the wrong that two years of authoritarian lockdowns and mandates have forced on the American people.”
