Press Releases

Congressman Steve Womack released the following statement in response to President Obama’s State of the Union address:

            “The President continues to run away from his dismal record of the first three years and instead, using his blocking fullback – the Senate – to shield him from the reality that unemployment remains high, spending is out of control, and our country is sinking from unsustainable deficits and a growing mountain of debt.  His strategy is obvious – to run against Congress, rather than accept responsibility for his failed policies.

            “House Republicans have been providing solutions throughout this entire Congress, only to see them die in the abyss known as the ‘Harry Reid Senate’.

            “It’s been one thousand days since the Senate passed a budget – one of the most fundamental of Congressional duties – and our country is in fiscal distress as a result.  We can do better.”
