Tuesday night in the State of the Union Address, President Trump offered a hopeful vision of the future – a vision based on trust in God and faith in the American people to work for the good of their nation and their fellow citizens. Trump’s message of hope is a stark contrast to the Pelosi-led Democrats whose hatred for the President was on display during the entire address culminating with the Speaker ripping her copy of the State of the Union.

Nancy Pelosi can rip up a copy of Trump’s speech, but she will not stop the resolve of the American people. I look forward to four more years of President Trump and I look forward to being able to elect a new Speaker of the House when I take office next January.”

Mary Miller is running for Congress in the 15th Congressional District, which includes all of 29 counties and parts of four counties. The District is almost 52 percent rural.
