On Health Care: Notion of mandates straight out of the communist handbook

In an attempt to continue to politicize the COVID-19 pandemic, the Biden administration wants to mandate that all federal employees, workers at entities that receive federal funding, and workers at any private businesses with over 100 employees take the vaccine. His administration wants to control your life and impose government regulations on your personal freedoms. This is a notion straight out of the communist handbook. Receiving the vaccine should always remain a personal choice. Source: Washington Examiner on 2022 Missouri Senate race Sep 23, 2021

On Principles & Values: Biden and Harris should resign

In fact, they and their team of Obama administration holdovers are actively working against the interests of the country. For their dereliction of duty in the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, their total capitulation to China and other adversaries, their calamitous open border policies, their disastrous fiscal policies, their servitude to the radical woke left, and their utter failure to lead the nation, Biden and Harris should resign.

On Principles & Values: I'm not a politician; I'm a congressman

Trump asked him if associating his name with Long's campaign run was a savvy political move, and the Springfield man said he didn't really care. "(Trump) looked at me and said, 'You really don't care, do you?' and I said, 'No, I don't care if it's a politically smart move. I've never loved the politics. I'm not a politician. I'm a congressman.' I said I want to do the right things for the right reasons every day I'm there--if you do the right policy, the politics will follow."

On Principles & Values: Voted against removing Confederate statues from Capitol

A plan to remove statues of Confederates and white supremacists from the Capitol attracted votes from a bipartisan supermajority of U.S. House members this week. But southwest Missouri's representatives weren't among the 72 Republicans joining Democrats. Both Rep. Billy Long and Rep. Vicky Hartzler voted against the idea as it passed 305-113.
