President Donald Trump called for bipartisanship work in Congress during his first State of the Union address Tuesday night, a motion that Alaska senior Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) says she supports.
Sen. Murkowski(R-Alaska): “It’s been a tough year in the Congress, we’ve been divided over issues like healthcare. We came together as Republicans on tax reform but that is still an issue where even while we are seeing the benefits there’s still a divide on the other side of the aisle about how that tax reform policy is going to advance. So we’re struggling right now as a Congress.”
She added that working to build a consensus on issues that are difficult like comprehensive immigration reform is what has made America “the great nation that we have been and will be”.
Sen. Murkowski(R-Alaska): “So I think it was a good reminder from the President and I hope a unifying reminder to us in Congress and to Americans around the country that it is by coming together and by uniting in purpose that we will be the best that we can be.”
