ALLENTOWN, Jan. 9 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>State Rep. Josh Siegel issued the following statement regarding President Joe Biden\u2019s planned visit this week to the Lehigh Valley:<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to welcoming President Biden to the Lehigh Valley on Friday. The Lehigh Valley is a natural place for President Biden to tout his economic agenda. Our region is an economic success story that the entire commonwealth has held up as an example of how to revitalize communities and create opportunity. It\u2019s only natural the president would choose the swing region of the swing state to bring his message to Pennsylvania,\u201d said Siegel, D-Lehigh.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Lehigh Valley, we create, we make, and we build. The American manufacturing renaissance is happening right here. We\u2019re home to innovative semiconductor firms and high-tech companies which represent the very best in the next generation of American commerce. We\u2019re home to a strong union ancestry and so much of the valley\u2019s revitalization is proudly union built.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the leadership of President Biden and Congresswoman Susan Wild, we have the CHIPS Act and American Rescue Plan, which have and will continue to help our local economy prosper.<\/p>\n

\u201cBiden\u2019s agenda of supporting union jobs, raising Americans\u2019 wages and working to reduce costs for working class families is well received and well regarded in the Lehigh Valley. Allentown is proud to welcome him. Like President Biden, Allentown has a fighter\u2019s spirit. We know adversity and we know struggle, but we always persevere and rise above.\u00a0Allentown needs President Biden so we can continue our work of building a safe, prosperous, and equitable city,\u201d Siegel said.<\/p>\n
