Congressman Biggs Urges Movement on Legislation Codifying President Trump’s Agenda Following State of the Union Address

Yesterday evening, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) attended the first State of the Union address of President Donald Trump’s second term. The President’s powerful speech outlined the significant progress his Administration has made over the past year and reaffirmed his commitment to policies and priorities that put American citizens first. Congressman Biggs has been a leading voice in advancing legislation that aligns with and reinforces the President’s priorities.

During his address, the President shared the tragic story of Dalilah Coleman, who was only five when she suffered life changing injuries caused by an illegal alien driving an 18-wheeler. President Trump called for Congress to pass Dalilah’s Law, legislation that would prohibit states from handing out commercial driver’s licenses (CDL) to illegal aliens. Congressman Biggs’s VERIFY CDL Act would accomplish that priority by requiring states to verify an individual’s employment authorization through E-Verify before issuing or renewing a CDL.

“President Trump’s address made clear that strong leadership delivers results,” *said Congressman Biggs.** “In just one year, we have seen meaningful progress in restoring border security and the rule of law, economic stability, and American sovereignty at home and abroad. Now it is Congress’s responsibility to lock these wins into law. *

“I have introduced legislation to advance the President’s priorities, and I will continue fighting to ensure the American people see lasting, structural change—not only temporary executive action. As we approach the halfway point of the President’s term, I urge House Leadership to quickly move my bills that align with his priorities. The time to act is now.”
