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. After the President’s speech, the Congresswoman weighed in and expressed her support for his optimistic vision. In case you missed it, McMorris Rodgers’ official statement may be viewed here on Facebook

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.”
