Nevada Leaders Respond to Presidents First State of The Union

Nevada Senator Dean Heller released a statement following the President’s first State of The Union Address. The Senator says, “From improving our aging infrastructure to enhancing our national security, tonight the President outlined his priorities that put Nevada – and America – first. I look forward to continue working with this Administration to fix our failing roads and bridges, rebuild our military, address our broken immigration system, and help Nevadans get ahead. I’m optimistic about what we can accomplish in 2018.”

Congresswoman Jacky Rosen called the speech, ” a repetition of many of the same empty promises and misinformation he has been peddling since the beginning of his presidency.”

U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto released the following statement in reaction to President Trump’s State of the Union address:

“We’ve heard this all before. During the election and his first year, President Trump promised middle class Americans he’d fight for them, make big investments in infrastructure, have huge job growth and show ‘great heart’ to Dreamers. He’s failed to deliver.”
