WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As the Democratic leadership struggles to meet their promise of holding a vote on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act by September 27, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks President, commented:

As the job market recovers from the government-mandated shutdowns, President Biden is pushing Julie Su to be Deputy Secretary of Labor, second-in-command of the U.S. Department of Labor. Ms. Su, the current secretary of the failing State of California’s Labor and Workforce Development Agency and the former Labor Commissioner of California under Governor Jerry Brown, has a troubling record. Under her leadership, the agency has been rife with massive unemployment benefits, fraud, and mismanagement.

In the midst of a never-before-seen job market, one in which individuals are financially incentivized to stay home instead of working, the Biden administration has nominated David Weil to head the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division. Weil is a professor at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, who held the same position in the Obama administration from 2014-2017.

Since President Biden’s first week in office, he has fulfilled his campaign promise of suspending the program of leasing federal land for oil and gas production through his direction of the Department of the Interior. However, Monroe U.S. District Court Judge Terry A. Doughty, appointed during the Trump administration, issued a preliminary injunction to block the pausing of new oil and gas leases claiming Biden is overstepping his power and that it must be done with congressional approval.

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to support the Lessening Regulatory Costs and Establishing a Federal Regulatory Budget Act, H.R. 968. Introduced by Rep. Ted Budd (R-N.C.), the Lessening Regulatory Costs and Establishing a Federal Regulatory Budget Act would ensure that for every significant regulation created two are eliminated and that the total cost of regulations does not increase.
