HELENA, Mont. – Governor Greg Gianforte tonight issued the following statement in response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address:

“Americans across our country are worried about making ends meet, rising prices they pay for groceries and gas, the safety and health of our communities, and whether their kids are getting the best education possible. Washington, D.C. is broken, chaotic, and dysfunctional. We need leadership from the White House, and it’s time for President Biden to put aside petty partisan games and work with Republicans and Democrats to get the job done, just like we do here in Montana. The president should take note of what we’re accomplishing in Montana to create jobs, support small business owners, make our communities safer, improve education for our kids, and boost opportunities for all Montanans.”
