It was an honor to be present for President Bidenâs State of the Union Address yesterday. I want to share with you some of my takeaways and thoughts about what this means not just for the 2022 election, but for the country. President Biden first highlighted bipartisan and international unity in our condemnation of the Russian war in Ukraine, and Iâm proud that he is taking such decisive action to condemn not just Vladimir Putin, but the billionaire oligarchs in Russia who profit from this violent regime. Iâm looking forward to working with the White House and my colleagues to push for passing the Bipartisan Innovation Act, the Freedom to Vote Act, and the John Lewis Voting Right Act â all common sense and necessary legislation to move our country forward. However, I was disturbed by an outburst from Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Green who chose to heckle the President when he was discussing the death of his son, Beau. We can disagree on policy. We can have vigorous debates about what we need to do to uplift American families. But what we canât do is ignore our shared humanity â the tragedy of a parent who outlives their children is not a partisan issue. This disheartening display only highlights how those on the furthest fringes of the right put partisan politics before all else â even basic decency. However, President Biden went on and announced expanded Veterans Affairs coverage for respiratory cancers, something thatâs very close to my heart. Iâve proudly sponsored bills this session to expand coverage to the veterans who need it, and I was joined by Retired Master Sergeant Charles Hamberger as my guest for the event. Overall, it was a night that highlighted the things that bring us together â defending democracy here and abroad, giving back to our veterans, and fighting inflation while pushing innovation in our economy â no matter what the dissenting extremists say. Iâm ready to get back to work for the things that matter most and fight to keep my seat out of the hands of another extremist.
