U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) issued the following statement after President Obama’s State of the Union address:

“It’s a disappointment, but not a surprise, that President Obama chose to use his last State of the Union address to advocate for more government control and regulation. Thankfully, the American people have just one more year left to endure the Obama Administration and its agenda. In stark contrast from the president, House Republicans will continue to pass legislation that will respect the Constitution, provide economic opportunities for all Americans, create jobs, reduce unemployment, stop the out-of-control bureaucracy, and keep Americans safe – both at home and abroad.”
