Kilmer Statement Following the State of the Union
WASHINGTON, D.C. –This evening, following President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union, Representative Derek Kilmer made the following statement:
“While America has seen some economic progress over the past several years, the recovery hasn’t been felt everywhere. In my view, the government needs to get focused on creating more economic opportunity for more people in more places,” Rep. Derek Kilmer said. “Tonight, the president promised a couple of things that I’ve long supported, such as investing in the nation’s infrastructure and building a skilled workforce. To fulfill those promises, he’ll need to do something he hasn’t adequately done so far – work across the aisle. I’m going to keep pushing to move our economy – and this government – forward.”
