Bergman: State of the Union Strong, Propelled by Hardworking Americans

Washington, February 4, 2020
 After attending President Donald J. Trump's State of the Union Address, Congressman Jack Bergman issued the following statement:

"Tonight, President Trump delivered a message of optimism that has lifted Americans across the entire country - and from every walk of life. Grit and hard work drive the American dream, and the policies of this Presidency have grown small business optimism to historical heights and created an atmosphere where Michigan businesses have added 102,000 jobs - including 17,000 manufacturing jobs. While not without obstacles, the outlook for northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula is bright. 

"President Trump rightly outlined the challenges continuing to face our nation, including: a broken healthcare system with rising costs, excessive drug pricing, national security threats, expanding rural broadband access, border security concerns, and continued trade imbalances. Congress must put aside the politics and extreme partisanship seen in recent months, and come together to work towards solutions that put America first and benefit American workers.

"While challenges remain, the spirit of our great Union is strong."
