Issues
Protecting Our Environment
“It is our responsibility to protect our environment. Whether it’s through recycling, protecting our wilderness, or keeping our oceans healthy – if we don’t do the job, no one will. Protecting natural resources in our region is one of my top priorities.”
Restoring Fiscal Responsibility
“Congress expects America's families to set a budget and to pay their bills. Congress should be held to that same standard.”
Ending The War In Iraq
“I understand what it's like to be a soldier caught in the cross hairs of political pandering. We had already announced our intentions to leave Vietnam by the time I got there in 1970. I was wounded in June 1970 and, tragically, about 9,500 additional men were killed before we finally left. Once again, we risk ignoring the inevitable at the expense of American lives. We need to begin a phased redeployment today.”
Healthcare
“We live in the greatest country in the world, yet millions of Americans are living without health care. When these people can’t get the medical attention they need, we all pay the price, whether it’s through lost productivity or higher insurance premiums. I believe all Americans deserve access to quality, affordable health care, and I’m committed to finding a solution to the problem.”
