Moolenaar Statement on the State of the Union

February 5, 2019

Today, President Donald Trump spoke to a joint session of Congress and presented his State of the Union address.

Congressman John Moolenaar attended the speech and made the following statement:

"The state of the union is strong. Unemployment is under four percent, millions of jobs have been created, and tax rates are lower. It's time for both parties to come to the table and work together with the president to build on the success of the past two years. If both parties work together, we can secure our borders to stop illegal drugs and prevent human trafficking, while welcoming people who want to enter the country legally to pursue the American Dream.

"We can also provide more funding for roads, bridges, and other infrastructure including the Soo Locks. Finally, we can do more to prevent opioid addiction and find treatments for cancer and Alzheimer's that will help our loved ones. Americans put different parties in charge and expect us to work together on these important issues facing the country."
