Perlmutter Applauds President Biden's First State of The Union Address

Statement

U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) issued the statement below following President Biden's first State of the Union address:

"President Biden has faced unprecedented challenges at home and abroad since taking office, yet he leads with a singular focus: to keep Americans safe and healthy and ensure a strong economic recovery and a bright future for all.

"President Biden's experience and leadership continues to be invaluable in the face of these challenges, including now as the United States, with our allies and partners, defend democracy and support Ukraine and its people against an unjustified attack from Russia.

"We know that hard working folks are feeling the squeeze and for most of us the economic challenges are real. Tonight's State of the Union reminded us how President Biden and Congressional Democrats have acted to rebuild our nation's economy which is recovering and beginning to rebound stronger. Having turned a corner in the global pandemic, President Biden is looking to the work ahead -- lowering the costs of everyday expenses for families, strengthening our supply chain, creating good-paying jobs and opportunity for all workers, and taking action in the fight against climate change.

"The last few years have been challenging for much of our country but we are emerging stronger and more resilient. The bipartisan infrastructure law, championed by President Biden, is one of many initiatives which will help secure a bright future for all Americans as we continue to invest in families, workers, and communities to create good jobs and strengthen our economy."
