Luján Statement on President Biden’s State of the Union Address

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M) issued the following statement after President Biden’s State of the Union address:

“Tonight, President Biden delivered an important address to the American people with a clear theme: the state of our Union is strong, jobs and the economy are growing, and our legislative accomplishments are paying off. President Biden and Congressional Democrats have led the way in recovering from the pandemic, rebuilding our infrastructure, helping lower costs for families, and investing in research and development. President Biden and Congressional Democrats have consistently delivered for the American people.

“The President’s speech tonight also furthered the contrast between President Biden and extremist Republicans who are focused on carrying water for the former president, stripping away reproductive rights, and endangering our national and global security.

“I was honored to welcome Tina Cordova as my guest, underscoring the need for the House to follow the Senate’s lead and pass RECA legislation. Every step of the way, Tina has been an exceptional leader, raising awareness, and building support for the need to compensate those impacted by radiation exposure.”
