Paulsen Statement on the State of the Union Address

Washington, D.C.– Rep. Erik Paulsen (MN-03), a member of the House Committee on Ways and Means, released the following statement in response to President Obama’s State of the Union Address:

“Once again, the President gave a good speech.  But, we need more than speeches.  What we need and what our country needs are policies that create a healthier economy.  I am optimistic that through hard work and cooperation, we can come to a consensus on issues like tax reform and increasing exports through trade agreements. I’m also hoping to work with the President on initiatives to combat sex trafficking and protect the thousands of victims of this devastating crime.” 

Paulsen, a champion of small business and advocate of free enterprise, entrepreneurship, and innovation, serves on the House Ways and Means Committee, the bicameral Joint Economic Committee, and is co-chair of the Congressional Medical Technology Caucus.
