This week marked one year since President Biden took office. I wish I could say happy anniversary, but it isn't that happy. Let's be honest, it's been a bumpy ride.
I'm not somebody who just complains. I also focus on solutions, so I'm going to identify four areas where I think this administration has failed and how we can do a better job as a country.
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) was given an A+ Pro-Life rating from the Susan B. Anthony List Scorecard.
"I was proud to receive an A+ pro-life rating from the Susan B. Anthony List," said Johnson. "Life is an inalienable right and deserves to be protected."
U.S. Reps. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) and Tom Cole (R-OK) on Jan. 13 introduced a bipartisan bill that would grant a federal charter to the National American Indian Veterans Inc. (NAIV), a nonprofit organization headquartered in South Dakota on the Cheyenne River Reservation that advocates for Native Americans who served in the United States military.
Sunday night, New York City passed a law that will allow noncitizens (green card holders and DACA recipients) the right to vote in municipal elections. More than 800,000 noncitizens will now be eligible to vote. This is a serious mistake.
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) issued a statement following the U.S. Supreme Court decision to block President Biden's vaccine mandate for large employers in the United States.
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) congratulated Congressional App Challenge winners, sisters Katelyn and Casie Dale, from Spearfish, South Dakota. Katelyn and Casie designed an app called the "Bill List Discrepancy Locator."
Earlier this week, the White House held a roundtable to discuss the meat and poultry supply chain. Farmers, ranchers, and independent processors from across the country shared their experience and expertise with this Administration. I hope their firsthand account isn't used to score political points – the White House has the opportunity to take what they heard and implement a real fix.
As my third year in Congress comes to a close, I have been reflecting on all that has happened in the short span of a year. I started off the year being sworn in for my second term as South Dakota's lone representative and was appointed to two committees—the Agriculture Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. These two committees are critical for the progress of South Dakota and played a vital role for our country as we have dealt with the impacts of a global pandemic, issues with the supply chain, and inflation.
