U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released a statement following the President's State of the Union address:

"I was encouraged that the President focused his address tonight on the importance of rising wages, growing incomes and strengthening the middle class. We have made significant progress over the last few years on the economy but there is much more work to be done. Too many Pennsylvanians are still struggling to make ends meet. It is time for commonsense polices that ensure hardworking middle class families are taking part in the recovery. Commonsense investments in the middle class will reward hard work, drive consumer spending and help grow the economy. I look forward to reviewing all of the specific proposals that the President outlined this evening. I will continue to fight to ensure all Pennsylvanians have the chance at a safe, secure and prosperous future."
