Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero issued the following reaction to the president’s State of the Union address:
“Our administration stands wholeheartedly with President Biden. Now is the time for us to focus on rebuilding our future after two years of balancing the health of our people and economy. We have demonstrated how we can do this responsibly, guided by the trusted data that has supported our progress throughout this pandemic. As we unite in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, we know times are tough with all that is going on in the world. Our administration looks forward to working with the leaders of our community to help families meet the rising cost of goods. We fully support the president’s plan to lower consumer costs, particularly on prescription drugs, energy, and child care. These initiatives will build on the investments we have made islandwide and strengthen the relief programs being executed locally by the hard working men and women in our agencies. As we walk this road to recovery together, we thank everyone for their collective commitment to moving forward.”
