Following President Biden’s remarks, Congresswoman Jacobs released the following statement:
“I was proud to represent California’s 53rd District in the House Chamber tonight for the State of the Union.
“Under President Biden’s leadership, we’re looking forward – with unity and optimism – and we’re not leaving anyone behind. We can – and we must – stand up for democracy around the world, make child care affordable, support our veterans, strengthen our economy, prioritize youth mental health, uplift our immigrant communities, support our LGBTQ+ community, and so much more. I am looking forward to continuing to work with President Biden and his Administration to build a better America.”
