WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL) issued the following statement in response to President Trump's Joint Address to Congress:
“President Trump’s address tonight sent a powerful message to the American people – and to every friend and foe across the globe – that ‘America First’ wasn’t just a campaign slogan; it forms the governing philosophy of his second term. It’s a vision I look forward to working with President Trump a reality.
“We must secure the border, shrink government, extend tax relief, unleash America’s energy potential, and protect our national security in a dangerous world. We have a president who won’t rest until we’ve achieved all of those objectives and more. He sounded strong and confident; and that’s the type of leadership this country desperately needed.”
