LaMalfa Statement on State of the Union Address

(Washington, DC) – Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) issued the following statement after President Donald Trump issued the State of the Union Address in the House Chamber at the Nation's Capital.

LaMalfa said: "The President's message tonight was clear – America has unlimited potential, we just have to unlock it. Under the two years of this Administration, the economy has consistently added jobs at record rates while simultaneously growing wages. It's up to Congress to work in a bipartisan manner in order to continue that positive momentum. President Trump reaffirmed his determination to make our immigration system safer and to stop the flow of human trafficking, drugs, and crime across our southern border. I remain committed to working with the President to achieve those goals, as well as protecting American workers, rebuilding our infrastructure, and much more. I share the President's optimism that we can move forward in a bipartisan manner for the betterment of our nation. The future of America is as bright as ever."

Earlier today, Congressman LaMalfa spoke on the House floor to thank President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for honoring Debra Bissell, Heather Armstrong, and Madison Armstrong from Redding, California as guests for the State of the Union Address. They are the daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of Gerald and Sharon David, who were murdered in their home in Reno, Nevada last month by an illegal immigrant.
