Congressman Rob Menendez Responds to President Biden’s 2023 State of the Union Address

“Tonight, President Biden was clear in his State of the Union – Democrats are delivering for the American people and defending working families and democracy. I am pleased that he highlighted key victories for the Eighth Congressional District and for America – lowering the cost of prescription drugs, battling climate change, reinvigorating American manufacturing, investing $1.2 trillion in the infrastructure of our cities and towns, and passing the first gun safety legislation in decades.

“President Biden not only accomplished this in two years, but he did it while rebuilding our institutions and our democracy after the damage inflicted by a President who worked only to stay in power, instead of working to uplift the American people.

“But our work is not done – so as the President said tonight – ‘Lets finish the job.’

“There are still far too many people in our district and across the country who are struggling to make ends meet. Which is why we need to continue working For The People.

“Together, with the President, we must and we will stand with working families to continue to build our economy from the bottom up and the middle out.

“I support the President and the Democrats’ agenda that includes finally achieving comprehensive immigration reform, protecting abortion access nationwide, creating more affordable childcare options for families across America, restoring and expanding the Child Tax Credit, expanding the $35 insulin price cap to all Americans, and ensuring tax fairness for working and middle class Americans.”

“I am committed to working with President Biden and the House Democrats to finish the job.”
