Fortenberry Statement on 2020 State of the Union Address

Statement

Date: Feb. 4, 2020
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Executive Branch

Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (NE-1) offered the following statement tonight after President Trump delivered the 2020 State of the Union Address.

"It is the ultimate tribute to our enduring republic that no matter the tenor of the time, the state of the world, the politics of the moment, the President of the United States stands before Congress, Justices of the Supreme Court, and a rapt nation and delivers a State of the Union Address," Fortenberry said.

"Tonight, the President delivered a very American, meat-and-potatoes speech, with a very important emphasis on national security, keeping you safe, and getting healthcare right. He had a particular initiative that is dear my heart and those of many Nebraskans called The Trillion Trees. I think it's very important for Republicans to embrace this space of environmental security," Fortenberry added.

"When that military family was reunited, it brought tears to my eyes," Fortenberry said.
