WASHINGTON, D.C. -Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-TX-22) issued the following statement after President Donald J. Trump's State of the Union address:

"Tonight, President Trump clearly outlined the wins he and his administration, along with Republicans in Congress, have delivered for the American people," said Congressman Nehls. "For nine consecutive months, zero illegal aliens have been released into our homeland, gas prices are at a four-year low, and this year, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts, average tax refunds are 11% higher, resulting in the largest tax refund season in history. Remarkably, violent crime and homicide rates have dropped to their lowest levels in at least 20 years. President Trump continues to deliver on the promises he made on the campaign trail.

"One thing is clear: The state of our union is stronger than ever before under the leadership of President Trump."
