WASHINGTON, DC – Tonight, Congressman David Schweikert (AZ-06) attended President Trump’s third State of the Union address and released the following statement:

“After listening to President Trump’s speech tonight, we can all agree that our union is strong and continues to strengthen. President Trump has kept the promises he made to cut taxes, modernize our trade agreements, secure the southern border, and stand by our military.

I am optimistic that our economy will continue to grow and stand ready to work with my colleagues to address rising prescription drug prices, lower the cost of healthcare, create policies that support workers and families, and strengthen our border security to keep Arizona communities safe.

I want to thank President Trump for honoring the Mueller family during tonight’s address. Arizona will never forget Kayla Mueller.”
