Rep. Calvert Responds to State of the Union Address

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) issued the following statement following the President's State of the Union address:

"Americans listened to President Obama's final State of the Union address this evening, but nothing he said tonight changes what they have experienced first-hand over the past seven years. The President's failed policies have led to a stagnant economy, more expensive healthcare for the middle-class, emboldened our enemies and created a more dangerous world. Not surprisingly, the President's remarks tonight indicate he's doubling down on those failed policies.

A majority of my constituents want our country to go in a different direction than what the President is proposing. That is why I'll be working every day with my Republican colleagues to drive a bold, pro-growth agenda that moves our country away from the big government policies that clearly don't help hard-working families and job creators. That's also why I'll be working to ensure that next January we are listening to the newly elected Republican President deliver the State of the Union address."
