This evening, Alabama Democratic Party Chairman, Judge Mark Kennedy, responded to President Obama's State of
the Union address.
"Tonight the President dedicated our nation to a renewed entrepreneurial spirit. He
issued a bipartisan call to renew our commitment to the American Dream. He challenged us saying, 'A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs--that must be the
North Star that guides our efforts.
The President's call for a national commitment to early childhood education should be welcome news to Alabamians. Hardly any state stands to benefit more from quality, universal pre-K more than Alabama. Our state desperately needs the investments proposed by the President in manufacturing, clean energy, infrastructure and education that will grow our economy and expand our middle class--the engine of our economic growth.
The President has called loud and clear for us to rededicate ourselves to the expansion of opportunity for all Americans. Let everyone here in Alabama work together to move forward, not back."
