Congressman Glenn Ivey Provides Statement on Presidential Address to Joint Session of Congress

Washington, DC— Congressman Glenn Ivey provided the following statement regarding his attendance to President Trump's address to a joint session of Congress this evening: 

"As the Congressman for Maryland’s Fourth Congressional District, I recognize the tremendous responsibility I have to my constituents to advocate on their behalf and ensure that their interests are represented at all times. Because of this, I cannot in good faith attend President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress this evening. The President and his allies have upended the lives of thousands of working people in the communities I represent and have caused pain for families across my district. Rather than listen to the President deliver more empty words and promises, I will instead remain focused on fighting back against the damage done by this President."
