Larson Statement on the State of the Union Address

Washington D.C. – Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement after President Trump gave his first State of the Union address.

"What was encouraging in tonight's State of Union was when the President struck the right tenor by discussing bipartisan initiatives like rebuilding our infrastructure and addressing the opioid crisis. However, the question remains whether a tweet will change all that tomorrow and whether the majority governing party will take these initiatives and vote on them. The devil is in the details and we haven't seen them yet," said Larson. "What the people in First District want are solutions. We need to get past the rhetoric and down to brass tacks of voting, only then will we accomplish anything."
