BISHOP STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP’S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) released the following statement on the President Trump's State of the Union:

"The President spoke of bipartisanship, and I hope this sentiment is sincere. However, he must abandon his divisive rhetoric, and put action behind his words. In the next week, we must avoid another disastrous shutdown and keep the government open. I urge the President to support the efforts of the bipartisan, bicameral conference committee as it negotiates an agreement to fund our government. The American people cannot afford to have their government let them down again."
