LaLota Reaction to State of the Union

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, February 8th, 2023, Rep. Nick LaLota (NY-01) released the following statement after President Biden’s State of the Union address.

“On one hand, I appreciated the President’s words on bipartisanship, his desire to help working families, bringing manufacturing home, building in America, addressing mental health issues, assisting Veterans, and protecting entitlements which so many have worked hard for and paid into. On the other hand, I was disappointed he chose to lie about Republicans’ position on Social Security and Medicare and did not discuss serious proposals to take on China, balance the budget, secure our border, cut spending, restore the SALT deduction, support law enforcement, unleash American energy, and ensure that our military remains the greatest fighting force in the world. I hope the President follows through on his words with meaningful and bipartisan action. Words without action mean nothing to the American people.”
