Boozman Statement on the State of the Union

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Boozman (RAR) released the following statement in response to the State of the Union address: “Whether it’s sky-high energy bills and gasoline prices, increasing costs at the grocery store or persistent inflated expenses for housing and other essentials – Arkansans are still struggling to make ends meet.

Sanders’ message encouraging Washington to get back to those basic principles.”
