“Tonight, President Biden reaffirmed that not only are his policies responsible for the numerous crises our nation is facing, but he has no real plan to fix them. His commitment to destroying domestic energy production keeps Americans dependent on foreign sources of fuel. His careless spending has created the worst inflation crisis in forty years.

Washington, D.C.– Today, Representatives Tom Emmer (MN-06) and Eric Swalwell (CA-15), co-chairs of the Personalized Medicine Caucus, introduced bipartisan legislation to better address drug-gene interactions to ensure that all Americans have access to the treatment that is best for them. 

Today, Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) released the following statement: 

“Vladimir Putin’s unwarranted invasion of Ukraine is a result of weak leadership on the world stage. Our hearts go out to the Ukrainian people and their families as they bear the brunt of these unlawful actions, and our response to these aggressions must be done in a swift and unwavering manner that holds Russia - and any other nation seeking to violate international law - to account, while restoring American energy and economic dominance here at home.”

Emmer said, “The relief offered by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has been a rare bright spot for working Americans, who are now facing the highest prices in forty years due to inflation and Democrat spending.”

“Jim was a dear friend who wanted nothing more than to represent the people of Minnesota’s First District in Congress. He did so every day with an unwavering passion and unshakable joy that brightened the halls of Congress and brought the best of Blue Earth to Washington. Our thoughts are with Jim’s family during this time and we will continue to pray for them. We will miss Jim dearly."

Emmer said, “My bill, which prohibits the Fed from issuing a central bank digital currency directly to individual Americans, is a statutory prohibition on a surveillance tool that could be used to kill private sector innovation and deflate the dollar’s dominance.”

Otsego, M.N.— Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) announced today that he will be hosting a tele-town hall on Thursday, February 17 at 7PM CT. Congressman Emmer will be joined by Local Taxpayer Advocate Wendy Rozinka.

Washington, D.C.— Today, Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) wrote a letter to Acting Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Janet Woodcock expressing his concerns with a 2021 rule related to over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids.
