Rep. Kustoff Statement on the President’s State of the Union Address

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative David Kustoff (TN-08) tonight released the following statement after hearing President Donald J. Trump's first official State of the Union address to Congress and the American people.

"Tonight, we heard from a president who is putting West Tennessee and America first," said Congressman Kustoff. "Just one year after President Trump took the oath of office, our economy is the strongest it has been in decades. The U.S. economy added more than 2 million jobs last year, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1 percent, which is a 17-year low. We passed historic tax reform, and we bolstered our military and support for veterans. Last year, the president kept his promises, and tonight, he told the American people that he is not done. I look forward to working alongside President Trump as we build on our success and continue to revive the American spirit."
