CHAD LUPINACCI RESPONDS TO STATE OF THE UNION 2016

In 2008, President Barack Obama won a historic election promising hope and change and to unite all American’s by rising above partisan politics.  Tonight’s State of the Union echoed those ideals. Sadly, after eight years of President Obama’s leadership, our nation stands more bitterly divided — in more ways than one Stated “Lupinacci”.

realize that much of President Obama’s optimistic and idealistic campaign promises remain largely unfulfilled. An overwhelming majority of Americans are pessimistic about the direction of our great country.  65% of Americans think our country is on the “wrong track.” Our economic recovery has been slow and wages remain stagnant.  Our influence on the world stage has waned. We are nearing $19 trillion in national debt — and continue to overspend. The Middle East remains as unstable as ever.  Barbaric terrorist groups that seek to do us harm have filled the power vacuum.  Comprehensive immigration reform appears to be an unattainable goal.

The upcoming presidential and congressional elections provide an opportunity for a fresh perspective on these problems. Americans have the chance in 2016 to elect rational and level-headed individuals, who care less about sound-bites and more about solutions. To everyday Americans, it is clear: It is way past time for Congress and the President to tone down the rhetoric and work together to tackle these long standing problems. This begins in the Third Congressional District.

I share the same apprehensions about our country’s future and the same frustration with business as usual in Washington. That is why I am strongly considering running for Congress. Throughout my career in public service, I have ushered in refreshed and renewed perspectives, helping us bring real answers to age-old problems. I will carry this mindset with me — no matter the office I seek.

American ingenuity and perseverance made this the greatest country on Earth. It is time we restored that greatness, with innovative policies which lead our nation into a new century of American prosperity. “
