U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) released the following statement after President Donald Trump’s first address to a Joint Session of Congress: 

“President Trump delivered an optimistic vision for jobs in America, a stronger national defense, and a restoration of power to the American people. His determination to create jobs resonates at home in Eastern Kentucky where we’ve lost more than 11,600 coal mining jobs over the last eight years. Together, the President and the Republican-led 115th Congress are committed to keeping our promises by replacing the job-killing regulations of the Obama Administration with pro-growth economic policies to reinvigorate the American workforce. I believe our best days are ahead of us, and it’s time to build upon the renewed spirit of hope in our country and unite together to pave the way for a brighter future.”
