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.
