Statement of Congressman Pierluisi in Response to President Obama’s State of the Union Address

Washington, D.C.-“Last night, President Obama delivered a strong, wise and unifying message. The President made clear that it is imperative for Democrats and Republicans to work together to move America forward in these challenging times. He recognized that the people of this country do not want partisan or petty battles. Rather, they seek leaders who will develop practical solutions to difficult problems.

“The American people want a robust economy where effort and innovation are rewarded, where our students can obtain a quality education and workers can find a dignified job, and where all citizens can obtain affordable and high-quality medical care for their families. The President’s speech was a call for action. In the coming months, I intend to work with my colleagues in Congress to answer that call.”
