Ahead of Donald Trump’s State of the Union address to Congress, Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Charlie Bailey released the following statement:
“With Donald Trump back in office, the state of the union is dire. Here in Georgia, hardworking families have been suffering from higher costs, higher health care premiums, and higher job losses, all so Donald Trump can deliver tax cuts to big corporations and his billionaire buddies.
“On top of those failures, we’ve got GOP candidates for Senate Buddy Carter, Mike Collins, and Derek Dooley running to advance Trump’s harmful agenda in Washington. Meanwhile, GOP candidates for governor Burt Jones, Rick Jackson, Brad Raffensperger, and Chris Carr are pledging to bring Trump’s cost-raising, Medicaid-gutting agenda straight to the Governor’s mansion.
“Georgians deserve so much better than the suffering and betrayal Trump has brought over the last year, and we’re going to do everything in our power to stop GOP candidates concerned only with bending the knee to Trump’s harmful agenda from winning higher office.”
