Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) released the following statement on President Trump’s State of the Union address: “Today, two years into the Trump Administration, our economy is booming, our job market is flourishing, and millions of Americans now get to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks each week. Unemployment is hovering steadily near record lows. Wages are on the rise. There are more open jobs than there are people to fill them. And employers and consumers alike feel confident about the direction we’re heading." Burr ended by saying that all Senators should listen to the President’s call for unity and work together on the issues that matter the most to the American people.
