Congressman Robert Aderholt released a statement following President Donald J. Trump’s State of the Union Address to Congress, expressing support for the president’s message and policies.
“Tonight, President Trump delivered a strong and inspiring State of the Union Address to Congress. As the President said, America is strong, prosperous, and respected as our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we are restoring peace through strength, defending our border, growing American manufacturing, and putting American families first. I stand beside the President in full support and will continue to deliver on his agenda and deliver real results for the American people.
I commend the President for securing the border and making it a top priority to ensure that our American cities and communities are safe. This commitment has led to record low illegal border crossings, with nine straight months of no illegal aliens released into the United States.
By focusing on law and order, thousands of American lives have been saved. We have made historic efforts from defending America’s border to fighting drug trafficking, all delivering peace through strength. The State of the Union is strong, because America is respected on the world stage, and I strongly support the President’s efforts to continue to strengthen America at home and abroad.
This year, the Working Family Tax Cuts are delivering Americans with the largest tax cut for working and middle-class families, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security. President Trump has worked to put real money back in our pockets. Our economy is being rebuilt brick by brick, and this is because wages are up, jobs are up, and inflation is cooling under the current Administration. Prospective homeowners have seen the dream of owning a home become more realistic due to higher incomes and lower mortgage rates.
In this new era of growth, rural America is thriving. The Rural Health Transportation Program that was established through the One Big Beautiful Bill has directed over $203 million dollars to Alabama to ensure our citizens and rural communities benefit for years to come. I have long believed our rural communities deserve the same access to top-notch medical services, and this investment is a real step towards that goal.
Alabama’s Fourth Congressional District believes in a government that puts Americans first and President Trump’s State of the Union Address shows the values of our district – family, freedom, and faith. I am proud to work alongside President Trump and my Republican colleagues to continue advancing an America first agenda that increases economic growth, protects the most vulnerable, upholds our national security, and delivers peace through strength.
The state of our union is strong, and the American people have much to look forward to in the coming years,” Aderholt stated.
