Hoeven Statement on the State of the Union

WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven issued the following statement on President Biden’s State of the Union address:

“President Biden and his administration continue to take our country in the wrong direction with their big government policies. Families are being challenged every day by rising costs, with paychecks that don’t go as far as they used to everywhere from the grocery store to the gas pump. The president has failed to enforce our laws, which has led to the crisis at our southern border with record numbers of illegal crossings. Our adversaries, like Russia, China and Iran, are becoming more aggressive. Our nation is less safe, the dollar doesn’t stretch as far as it used to, and the policies of this administration are making things worse.

“Instead, we need to focus on the fundamentals that have made our nation strong and empowered the American people to innovate and succeed. We can do that by controlling spending and cutting burdensome regulations to grow the economy. We need to take the handcuffs off our domestic energy producers and utilize our abundant energy resources here in this country to lower costs for American families. We need to secure our border and enforce our laws. With security challenges around the world, we must continue to invest in our military and support our men and women in uniform. We’ll continue to push back on President Biden’s broken policies and work to advance these priorities for the good of the American people.”
