Washington, D.C. (March 1, 2017) — Yesterday, Eastern Washington Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) shared her thoughts about what she wanted to see from the President’s Joint Address to Congress.

In the morning, the Congresswoman spoke at the weekly House Republican Leadership press conference about her excitement for the President’s Joint Address, where she also recapped her most recent meetings across Eastern Washington: “As I was in Walla Walla visiting and celebrating a new veterans home, in Spokane visiting a school for the hearing impaired, or in the community bringing people together to talk about how we unify around shared goals, I was reminded that it’s most important to listen to one another and focus on the values that unite us as Americans.”

…And in this interview with the Daily Caller, the Congresswoman discusses how Republicans are, “unified [and] have a 200 day plan that’s been agreed to by the House and the Senate and the Administration, and it keeps us focused.”

Followed by a few post-Joint Address interviews in Statuary Hall, including one with KING 5 and an interview with the Spokesman-Review:

As the Congresswoman said in her Facebook Live video, at the end of the day, this is about putting people back at the center of their government. This is about people, everyone, living their version of the American Dream.
