U.S. Representative Martin Heinrich released the following statement tonight on President Obama's State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress:

"Central New Mexico is a model for the kind of innovation and competitiveness the President spoke of tonight.

"I've seen first-hand the impact encouraging American innovation and entrepreneurship has on a local economy. I see it in success stories from companies like Schott Solar and SUMCO Phoenix in central New Mexico that are thriving in the expanding clean energy and high-tech manufacturing industries.

"The President was right when he said we need to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world. That's happening right now in central New Mexico.

"But we have a lot of work to do. Together, we need to rebuild the public's trust in government and continue the hard work of economic recovery.It will require practical policies and pragmatic compromise that can give our nation the vibrant economic growth and stronger middle class we have come to expect.

"My commitment remains stronger than ever to create quality jobs in central New Mexico, reduce our deficit, and work together to "win the future."
