Fischer Statement on President Trump's State of the Union Address

Statement

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) today released the following statement after President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union address:
"This evening President Trump described the remarkable economic successes in this country over the past year. Historic tax cuts and smarter regulatory policies have resulted in bigger paychecks and more opportunities for working American families. Our economy has come back to life and Nebraskans are feeling increasingly optimistic about the future.

"In an effort to build on these strong achievements, the president put forth his legislative principles for the coming year. A plan to update and improve our nation's infrastructure is an important part of his agenda. This is an issue I've led on -- both in the Nebraska Legislature and U.S. Senate. I'm hopeful Congress can enact consistent, long-term transportation and broadband infrastructure policies that will enhance safety and efficiency.
"I agree with the president's statements on providing our military with the resources it requires to defend this nation and the importance of modernizing our nuclear deterrent.
"I also want to echo the president's call for an era of more bipartisanship in Washington. This is long overdue. The next farm bill is an area where I anticipate we can find common ground on behalf of our agriculture producers who feed our hungry world.
"In the year ahead, I will continue to work together with Nebraskans, President Trump, and my colleagues in Congress to improve the lives of American families. If we can expand on the progress that's already been made, we will see an even stronger, brighter, and more successful future."
