NDC Chair Kuster Applauds President Biden’s Second State of the Union Address
New Democrat Coalition Chair Annie Kuster (NH-02) released the below statement following President Biden’s State of the Union address to Congress:
“Joe Biden is the American Jobs President.
“In his first State of the Union address, the President laid out a plan to help create American jobs, invest in American manufacturing, and lower health care costs for families. As the ‘Can Do Caucus,’ New Dems helped him achieve these goals by passing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS & Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
“Tonight, the President underscored how each of these historic pieces of legislation are strengthening our country and economy. In just two years under President Biden’s leadership, Democrats created more than 12 million jobs andlowered the unemployment rate to its lowest level since 1969.
“But more work remains. While extremists are focused on waging the last generation’s culture wars, New Dems are focused on the future by working to lower costs, keep our communities safe, and grow our economy so every American has the opportunity to succeed.
“In a closely divided House, nothing will get done without New Dems at the table. Our Members look forward to continuing our partnership with the Biden Administration to break through the gridlock in Washington to deliver common-sense solutions to our nation’s most pressing challenges.”
