Kilmer Statement on State of the Union
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Representative Derek Kilmer (D-WA) released the following statement after attending President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address.
“Despite the fact that partisanship is still a fact of life in our nation’s capital, I admire President Obama’s willingness to focus on the year ahead as an opportunity to get things done for the American people. The folks I represent want good jobs and a brighter future for their kids. With that in mind, we need to keep working to build bipartisan consensus around the issues that unite us, like strengthening the economy, keeping our nation and those who serve it safe, protecting our most cherished natural resources and expanding opportunity to every American. I’ll continue to hold my hand out to anyone willing to partner with me in that regard because that’s ultimately the only way we’ll move our country – and our Congress – forward.”
