WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) issued the following statement after voting for legislation to terminate the COVID-19 national emergency that was declared on March 13, 2020.

“Newsflash America, the pandemic is over. After three long and arduous years of unprecedented government overreach, House Republicans voted to officially bring the COVID-19 national emergency to an end. For years, thanks to Florida’s state leadership, the people of Southwest Florida lived freely while many Americans were forced to stay home, were subjected to unconstitutional vaccine mandates, and were treated like second-class citizens if they did not comply with the tyrannical edicts of power-hungry far-left politicians. We The People are fighting back. The post-COVID-era is here."
