Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) released the following statement ahead of tomorrow’s State of the Union Address, on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
“I will not be attending this year’s State of the Union. Because I already know the state of our Union–families across Illinois are hurting. Neighbors are scared of ICE violence. Farmers are going bankrupt. Costs are too high, and this Administration is failing to deliver an economy that works for us in the middle,” said Congressman Sorensen.
“Instead of playing politics, I will devote the day working to lower costs, providing real results, and staying true to the people I serve.”
