Good evening and welcome to our Weekend Update.

This week, we have surpassed the Biden administration’s one-year anniversary in office. And the numbers don’t lie; his administration has been a disaster for hardworking American families.

There are six million Americans unemployed, with ten million unfilled jobs. Biden’s policies incentivize American workers to stay on the sideline rather than join the workforce. Unfilled jobs, inflation, empty grocery store shelves, high gas prices, food prices out-of-control… American families are paying more directly due to the horrific policies of the Biden administration.

Here is the report card:

• Highest inflation in 40 years
• Low workforce participation
• Border crisis
• Emboldened our adversaries
• Afghanistan withdrawal disaster
• Weak Covid response
• Attempt to federalize elections
• Big government, budget-busting spending bills
• Made us dependent on foreign energy sources again

If you were grading Joe Biden and the Democrats, you would have to give them an F.

This week, I joined Newsmax’s “Wake Up America” to discuss Joe Biden’s first year in office and his recent press conference. Biden did a lot of explaining and blaming and gave us no real answers on the countless issues facing our nation. Biden promised to unite our country, but he has done everything in his power to divide us. Click here or below to watch the interview.

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Candidate Joe Biden promised to shut down the virus. But, unfortunately, that promise has not come to fruition.

Biden’s approval rating on Covid-19 is 16 points underwater for good reason:

• Democrats refused to tie Covid-19 funds to school reopening. Now schools are closing.
  
  
• Biden rejected proposals to buy more tests before the holidays, now Americans are facing shortages nationwide.
  
  
• He didn’t order enough treatments when he had the chance. Now hospitals are scrambling as they’re forced to ration what treatments they have.

Biden’s campaign was based on the false promise he was going to get rid of Covid. The Biden administration has been all talk and little action with regard to Covid. In fact, many of the positive things that have advanced in the fight against Covid were developed and came to fruition under the Trump administration.

This week, I had the honor of meeting with Lt. General John Jensen, Director of the National Guard. We had a discussion regarding the importance of the National Guard in Pennsylvania and across the country. They serve our communities at home and abroad, and we are thankful for their service to our country. The 9^th District is home to Ft. Indiantown Gap, often ranked as one of the largest and busiest national guard training centers. We are so appreciative of the service of our military heroes past and present.

On Friday, I met with constituents who attended the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. As a member of Congress, I will always vote to protect the rights of the unborn.

As I stated last week, I am 100% committed to helping the Republican Party win back control of the U.S. House. It is critically important to the future of our nation. We can no longer allow Joe Biden, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the extreme left to push our nation down the wrong path behind a failed agenda.

Like many of you, I am eager to see the results of the redistricting process. My continued hope is that the 9th District will stay intact so that we can continue to build on the foundation we have laid. We have established great working relationships with our local communities, schools, hospitals, Pennsylvania's National Guard, small businesses, community organizations, and most importantly, the great families of the 9th District. We have more to do, and I remain hopeful that we will continue to work on important projects in these communities today, next year, and the year after that.

Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you soon,
