Congressman Rob Bishop, representative for Utah’s 1st District of which includes much of the Uintah Basin, made a statement following the 2020 State of the Union Address. “We are in the midst of an incredible time in America’s history,” shares Bishop. “By almost any metric, Americans today are faring better than they were before 2016. We are safer and we are stronger, and I commend President Trump and his administration for creating an environment in which Americans can succeed. In Utah, nearly 150,000 jobs have been created since 2016, business is booming, and wages are increasing. Most importantly, our defense is strong and getting stronger thanks to President Trump’s leadership and bipartisan cooperation.” Congressman Bishop concluded that he remains optimistic that our best days as Americans are ahead of us.
