Lujan Statement on President's State of the Union Address

Statement

"In his last State of the Union Address, President Obama reflected on the growth the nation has made during his administration and his vision for the future. Under his leadership our country, has made considerable progress--including great strides to overcome the setbacks of the great recession. But much work remains and I am encouraged by the path the president laid out tonight.

"We are well on our way to ensuring a robust and sustainable economic recovery that will contribute to the building of prosperity for generations to come. Strengthening Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), promoting college affordability, and investing in a clean energy economy will mean a more vibrant middle class that is the key to a brighter future for New Mexico.

"We must continue to build a stronger, better, more prosperous America. I am hopeful that we can come together to address the challenges we face and create a shared vision for America. We must ensure that we continue to make progress that moves our nation forward so that every New Mexican has an opportunity at the American Dream."
