WASHINGTON– U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) released the following statement in response to the State of the Union address:

“Hardworking Arkansans are worried about paying bills, putting food on the table and the price of gasoline. The main thing the people of Arkansas needed to hear was a plan to bring down inflation, end the supply chain bottlenecks and restore our workforce to full strength. It’s time for the president to focus on bipartisan solutions to give them relief and quit doubling down on radical measures that pour gas on the fire. I urge him to set his partisan agenda aside and respond to the concerns of countless Americans by working to contain rising costs, secure the southern border and demonstrate a strong foreign policy. There is unlimited potential for what our nation can accomplish when we have the tools, policies and leadership to realize our dreams.”
