Duckworth Responds to President’s State of the Union Address

In response to the President’s State of the Union Address tonight, Congressional Candidate Tammy Duckworth issued the following statement:

“The President’s message – that we must strengthen our economy and ensure that everyone has a chance at the American Dream – resonates with the residents of the 8th district. We need to create jobs, reform our tax code, and make sure that everyone plays by the same set of rules.”

“We must put an end to the extreme rhetoric and partisanship that is gridlocking Washington. That means electing Members of Congress who will put our country before party ideology. I look forward to getting to Congress and, as the President said, fighting obstruction with action.”
