Josh Riley Responds to President's Speech to a Joint Session of Congress

March 4, 2025

Tonight, Congressman Josh Riley issued the following statement in response to Tuesday's joint session of Congress address by President Trump:

“In Upstate New York, we believe if you work hard and play by the rules, you should get a fair shot. But tonight we heard about a shameless tax giveaway to billionaires like Elon Musk paid for by newborns who need healthcare, hard-working families who need relief, and nursing home residents who need round-the-clock care. I don’t know a single Upstate New Yorker who thinks billionaires deserve another break while everyone else gets screwed—I sure as hell don’t.”
