Congressman Mike Ross' comments on State of the Union

U.S. Congressman Mike Ross of Prescott issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night.

Statement from U.S. Congressman Mike Ross:

“I appreciate the President presenting a detailed plan on how we strengthen the middle class and get this economy back on track – two important priorities for this Congress. I strongly urge the President and Congress to come to the table, actually listen to one another and work in a bipartisan way. The November elections are ten months away, so there’s still plenty of time to govern and get the job done. We simply cannot afford to wait any longer to address our national debt or our jobs crisis. It’s time for Republicans and Democrats to stop putting party over country and get to work on behalf of the American people.

“As a fiscal conservative and leader of the fiscally conservative Democratic Blue Dog Coalition, I’ll continue the fight to reduce our deficits and put people back to work. And, I’ll continue to offer commonsense leadership in our nation’s capital, fighting for the people I represent and working hard to bring both sides together.”
