President Joe Biden thanked federal employees for their public service ahead of his State of the Union prime-time speech Thursday evening.
Biden told government workers in a letter obtained by E&E News, “You are on the frontlines of making our democracy work for the American people. You keep them, our environment, and our communities healthy and safe.”
“Your talents could have taken you many places, but you chose to serve our country,” Biden added in the letter sent Thursday. “I am grateful that you are using your abilities to improve the lives of everyone across America.”
The president said he is committed to ensuring federal workers have all the tools and resources they need to keep serving the public effectively.
