Rep. Rick Allen's Reaction to the State of the Union

Statement

U.S. Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) today released the following statement after attending President Donald J. Trump's 2020 State of the Union address:

"When President Trump makes a promise, he keeps it. Since 2016 he has worked with Congress to deliver wins for the American people -- from growing our economy and modernizing our trade policies, to putting America first by protecting American lives both at home and abroad.

"I'm so proud of what we have been able to accomplish on behalf of the American people but as the President highlighted tonight, there is still more work to do. The top issue I hear about in the district is the rising price of prescription drugs, and President Trump remains committed to working with Congress on a plan to lower costs and fix our health care system. He also made a commitment to help students succeed by expanding choice through opportunity scholarships and vocational training. On the world stage, he made clear that America will once again defend our security interests, including sealing our borders from crime and displaying American strength abroad through diplomatic and military efforts.

"Though we could accomplish even more if Democrats are willing to work with President Trump in a bipartisan fashion, I am optimistic about the direction our country is headed under President Trump's leadership. It is safe to say the state of our union is strong."
