Davids Statement on President Trump’s State of the Union Address

“President Trump promised lower costs and relief for hardworking families. But what we’ve seen instead is the exact opposite — policies that raise costs, put farmers out of business, and cut people off their lifesaving health care.

 

“Reckless tariffs are forcing families to pay more while billionaires are receiving giveaways at the expense of those who actually earn their paychecks. No one, no matter their party, asked for this.

 

“Folks are tired. They’re tired of political games. They’re tired of feeling unsafe in their own communities. I didn’t come to Congress to watch politicians act like children or cling to power for self-interest. I’ve always said I will work with anyone to make a difference for Kansans— Republican or Democrat. But many of the proposals we heard tonight are too extreme, plain and simple.

 

“Bipartisanship is possible. I sincerely believe it is. But it requires everyone to lower the temperature and focus on the Kansans who are struggling to make ends meet right now. It’s time for leaders to stop playing politics and start delivering real, bipartisan solutions for the people they were elected to serve.”
