WASHINGTON D.C. –  Today, Rep. French Hill (AR-02) issued the following statement after Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

“I congratulate the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden. From the first inauguration in 1789 that saw George Washington installed as the first American president to today’s inauguration installing the 46th, one constant remains: the peaceful transfer of power.

“I will work with President Biden and his administration to increase opportunities for all Arkansans and Americans and to elevate those we serve. Our nation and her resolve have been tested over the past week, and I call on my colleagues in the Legislative Branch -- Democrats and Republicans alike – to find unity in the purpose of honoring our Constitution, preserving our Republic, and calling on each of us to advance our nation for the good of all of our citizens."
