Graves Statement on State of the Union address

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Sam Graves (MO-06) released the following statement after President Donald J. Trump's State of the Union address:

"The President made it clear tonight that America is great because of the pro-growth policies we've implemented. Job creation is up, unemployment is at its lowest in nearly 50 years and Americans are seeing more money in their pockets. However, it's clear that we need to work together to make our country even greater.

Our immigration system must be strengthened to make sure our nation is safe and secure. Securing the border and ensuring that the law is being followed has historically received bipartisan support. Likewise, the continued strength and success of our nation also depends on an improved infrastructure system that is in good shape and safely incorporates innovation and technology. Improving our crumbling infrastructure isn't a partisan issue and we must work diligently in the months ahead to make it happen.

I appreciate the President's vision for our country and I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure that the strength of our country only grows in the days ahead."
