Rep. Kelly to Welcome PA State Senator Robbins as Guest for State of the Union Address

WASHINGTON — Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) announced today that he will be welcoming Pennsylvania State Senator Bob Robbins (R-50) as his personal guest at next week’s State of the Union address by President Barack Obama in the United States Capitol. Senator Robbins, who is retiring at the end of his current term, will join other distinguished guests in the House gallery during the president’s address.

Statement by Rep. Kelly:

“I am very honored that Senator Robbins has accepted my invitation to join me in the nation’s capital next week to listen to the president’s State of the Union address firsthand. Senator Robbins’ lifetime of service to Pennsylvania and to our country is well known and widely respected across the aisle and across the entire commonwealth. From his two tours of duty in Vietnam to his three-plus decades of leadership in the state legislature, Senator Robbins has long been a shining example of steadfast dedication to both community and country. It is only fitting that he begins his final year as a public servant in the presence of other esteemed citizens and leaders at next week’s annual event.”
