With his bold and compassionate policies, President Biden is ready to build on the progress made over the past two years to ensure this new era of progress and prosperity extends to all Americans.

Let’s finish the job and finally pass #PaidLeave!
Statement from Congressman Nick Langworthy on President Biden’s State of the Union
“President Biden had the opportunity to speak truthfully to the American people tonight and chart a new course for our nation, but all we heard was the same hollow rhetoric of the last two years. Our nation is hurting–people are struggling to make ends meet under crushing food and energy costs, lawlessness is gripping our cities and communities are being destroyed by the scourge of fentanyl pouring through our open borders.
Our weak and feckless foreign policy has had devastating impacts on the world stage. Just days ago, China broke international law by violating our air space and the President didn’t even devote a single sentence to this act of aggression in his 72-minute speech.
Americans feel that their government is too big and too detached to be accountable to the taxpayers who fund it. They aren’t wrong. I was disappointed the President took the opportunity in his speech to knowingly promote lies about Republican positions but I hope he’s serious about working with the House Majority because that is what the country is demanding. We will keep working to deliver on our Commitment to America agenda to make our country safe, strong, prosperous and free.”
From Mayor John Buckley:
“Last night’s State of the Union Address was an embarrassing, disjointed disaster with the President repeatedly saying ‘We must finish the job’. With runaway national debt, hyper inflation, rising interest rates, and a wide open southern border coming all on his watch, I’d say he’s done quite enough.”
