2022 State of the Union address: on Government Reform


Colin Allred: Never seen such blatant attacks on Americans' voting rights

Allred ended his remarks with perhaps his most urgent demand: the Senate must pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act, a major voting rights bill Republicans in the Senate have repeatedly blocked. Allred pointed to new voting restrictions in Texas that have so far led to the rejection of thousands of mail-in ballots across the state. "As a former voting rights attorney, I've never seen anything like what we're seeing now, the blatant attacks on Americans' right to vote," he said.

Kim Reynolds: Bold action doesn't have to mean government action

We know our problems require bold action, but we also know that bold action doesn't have to mean government action. It's Americans making their own decisions for their own families and future.

You shouldn't have to wake up every morning and worry about the next thing the government is going to do to you, your business, or your children.

If we, as elected leaders, are doing our job, then the government is working well but operating in the background. It's supporting the ingenuity and spirit of our people, not drowning them out. It's keeping them safe, not restricting their freedom. That's what I believe. That's what Republicans believe. And that's what Republicans are doing.
