Hartzler praises President Trump's State of the Union address

(From Fourth District Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler)

Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (MO-04) tonight released the following statement on the President’s 2019 State of the Union Address:

“Tonight, the President laid out an optimistic agenda to unify our country and move America forward. He reminded us of what America can accomplish when we work together, of how our economy is booming, and that Americans are truly better off because of tax reform.

"His vision for a safe and legal immigration system that protects those who are most vulnerable while securing our border from the flow of illegal drugs is something I believe we can all support. 

"His focus on the need to strengthen our healthcare system by improving access to affordable prescription drugs is a necessary priority. 

"Finally, I was pleased to hear the President’s continued prioritization of national security. As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, I’ll be working with the Administration to further strengthen our armed forces and ensure that our men and women in uniform continue to be the most powerful fighting force in the world. I believe and agree with what the President said: we can choose greatness or gridlock. Now is the time for all of us to work together for the common good and choose greatness.”"
