Too late to simply freeze spending – we must cut spending
Put Americans back to work … and back in charge

(Las Vegas, NV) – Tonight, Nevada businesswoman and U.S. Senate candidate Sue Lowden issued the following statement on tonight’s State of the Union speech:

“Struggling Nevadans know that the time for hope is long past – and the time for real solutions has come. Washington still hasn’t figured it out. It’s the place of grand speeches and poll-tested promises. Unfortunately, too many promises have been broken, priorities misplaced and opportunities squandered.

“Today, we have higher unemployment, higher debt and hardworking Nevadans continue to be separated from their homes in record numbers. Washington taxes too much and spends even more. In fact, each Nevada taxpayer is saddled with $110,000 of debt. It’s too late to simply freeze government spending – we must cut spending across the board.

“I am proud to have outlined real solutions to real problems in my campaign. From outlining a jobs plan to providing more affordable and accessible health care, my campaign has focused on not just issues – but solutions. My plans are backed not just by promises, but by a record of action and progress.

“Government growth and personal freedom do not go hand-in-hand. It’s time for Washington to know that Nevadans choose more freedom over more government.”
