Ayotte Statement on President's State of the Union Address

Statement

U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte released this statement tonight following the president's State of the Union address:

"The American people sent us to Washington to fully debate the issues and solve tough problems. President Obama identified several areas where Republicans and Democrats must work together, and one of them is strengthening our nation's infrastructure. I hope he'll take a serious look at bipartisan legislation I recently helped introduce that would create a fund to finance infrastructure projects without using taxpayer dollars. I also hope the president is serious about reforming our corporate tax code -- the highest in the world - to simplify and lower rates, which would make America more competitive, help grow jobs and keep investment here.

"It was a glaring omission that the President's speech didn't address the serious problems with Obamacare. New Hampshire citizens have told me they're losing their doctors, seeing their coverage cancelled or having to pay more for it. We need to tackle these problems head on."
