Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty (CT-5) tonight issued the following statement after President Trump's address to Congress:

"The values President Trump talked about in his speech tonight -- ideas like standing up to special interests, securing our national defense, and expanding economic opportunity -- were totally at odds with the divisive and damaging policies he has pursued and the appointments he has made since taking office. I stand ready to work with my colleagues in Congress and the new Administration on areas of genuine shared interest. But the words tonight must be understood in the context of the actions the President has taken in the last five weeks and will be judged by the actions he takes going forward."
