Richardson Issues Statement on President Biden's Recent Executive Order

State Rep. Tracy Richardson (R-Marysville) has issued the following statement regarding President Biden's recent executive order:

“In the Federalist Papers, 1787, John Jay asserted: 'Distrust creates distrust, and by nothing is goodwill and kind conduct more speedily changed.'

"A quick path to distrust is an overreach of government. Government ordered COVID-19 vaccines are government overreach. I support and uphold the right of Ohioans to do your research, consider your options and act diligently according to your needs, your conscience and the concerns of our communities.

"I have united with members of the Ohio House of Representatives to urge the Attorney General to do everything in his power to halt President Biden’s recent Executive Order. Moreover, we seek to prevent the implementation and enforcement of this order within the borders of Ohio.

"Again, I encourage all in the spirit of goodwill to consider your options and mindfully draw your own conclusion on whether or not to COVID-19 vaccinate. I will support your decision. That is the American way.”
