Rep. Hill Responds to State of the Union Address

WASHINGTON D.C. — Tonight, Congressman French Hill (AR-02) released the following statement after the president delivered the annual State of the Union address:

"Over the past three years, Congressional Republicans and the president have kept their promise to revitalize America by cutting burdensome government regulations, delivering the most sweeping tax reform in more than 30 years, modernizing the North American Free Trade Agreement, and working to even the playing field for American trade with China. These pro-growth economic policies have made the American dream more accessible for more Americans. And, our farmers and business communities are only beginning to see the benefit from the most recent developments in trade.

“The president has been tireless in defending our nation at home and abroad with the underlying principle “peace through strength.” By investing strategically in our military to address the readiness crisis, Congress and this administration ensured our brave men and women in uniform are equipped for now and the future.

“Despite our accomplishments, there remains much to be done. We must continue to work to increase competition in our healthcare system, thereby reducing the high costs burdening families. We must work on a bipartisan basis to repair our broken immigration system and repair our nation's infrastructure. I stand ready to work with the president and my colleagues to promote policies to enhance the future for all Americans."
