Congressman John Carter (TX-31) issued the following statement regarding the State of the Union Address tonight. 

“Tonight, President Trump offered a unifying and uplifting message on the state of our union; our nation is strong and the future is bright. Over the last two years, we have made great strides on the issues that matter most to Americans, like improving veteran care, lowering prescription drug prices, and creating jobs. The possibilities are endless on what we can achieve as we move forward. 

“We now have an opportunity to continue our success. If both parties can find common ground, we can achieve an even more secure and prosperous America. I look forward to continuing to work with the Administration as we carry on our path of American Greatness.” 

Rep. Carter represents Texas District 31, which includes Fort Hood, the largest active duty armored military installation in the free world. He serves as co-chairman of the Congressional Army Caucus and Ranking Member of the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Appropriations.
