WASHINGTON— U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) applauded the announcement that Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders will deliver the Republican response following President Biden’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday.

“Under the Biden administration inflation is still staggeringly high, gas prices are increasing and the crisis at our southern border has spiraled out of control. Americans continue struggling to make ends meet. We are grateful to have young conservative leaders like Governor Sarah Sanders who are leading the fight against reckless policies and focusing on making the lives of families better in Arkansas and across the country. In all my years of friendship with Sarah she has constantly put faith, family and Arkansas first. We have a lot of reasons to be optimistic about the future and now all Americans will have the opportunity to hear the Republican vision about the path forward, which I know she will deliver with heart and boldness,” Boozman said.
