CONGRESSMAN GONZALEZ RESPONDS TO PRESIDENT BIDEN’S SECOND STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS  

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) released the following statement in response to President Joseph R. Biden's State of the Union address to the United States Congress:

"Democrats have delivered results for the American people, while many focus on meaningless political grandstanding and empty promises. From investing in critical infrastructure like drainage, roads bridges and Wi-Fi for all to cutting healthcare costs for seniors to leading the country out of a worldwide pandemic with a record low unemployment. Democrats are the party of the working class.

"Although we have accomplished much, there is still work to be done. From higher costs for everyday items and higher education to immigration and national security, Congress must put aside petty politics and pass meaningful, commonsense measures that yield actual results that make American and South Texas lives better and paves the way for the next generation.

"I call on President Biden to continue to address the problems the American people sent us to Washington to address. Our work is not done, and we need to finish the job. I stand ready to collaborate with my Congressional colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address these priorities and take care of South Texans."
