WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Brad Finstad (MN-01) issued the following statement after attending the second inauguration of President Donald J. Trump:

“It was an incredible honor to take part in the peaceful transfer of power established by our country’s Founding Fathers and witness history as our 47^th President of the United States took the Oath of Office.

“In November, the American people decisively placed their trust in President Trump to lead our country in a new direction; to secure our border, reduce waste in government, uphold the rule of law, lower costs for hard-working families, and restore America’s dominance on the global stage.

“Now, we go to work to earn that trust. America is, and always has been, the best country in the world. I am excited to join President Trump, Vice President Vance, and our Republican majorities in the 119^th Congress in carrying out the responsibility the American people have placed in us to lead our nation forward.”
