On The Issues

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Greene has stated that "children should not wear masks," believing that masks are "unhealthy for their psychological, emotional, and educational growth," adding that "forcing boys to wear masks is emasculating. Our first session of New Member Orientation covered COVID in Congress. Masks, masks, masks....I proudly told my freshman class that masks are oppressive. In GA, we work out, shop, go to restaurants, go to work, and school without masks. My body, my choice. #FreeYourFace."

HEALTH COVERAGE

Greene has stated that, "I believe the best way to provide health care coverage is through the private health care market. Removing government regulations and intervention is the best way for the market to be able to compete and for every sector of health care to be able to offer the best, highest quality, and affordable care and plans to every single American citizen. Keep government out of health care."
