WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) issued the following statement today on President Trump's address:

“I was pleased to hear such a strong emphasis from the President on growing jobs and growing our economy.  Louisianians want nothing more than to work hard at a good job,” said Senator Kennedy.  “President Trump delivered a powerful message about placing the American people above the Washington bureaucrats.  This is exactly why I came to Washington.  Our people need more jobs, not more government.  I was also pleased to have the President talk about the need for a strong military.  I was especially happy the President called for a renewed American spirit.”
