Issues & Legislation

For over thirty years, Joe Biden has represented the people of Delaware in the U.S. Senate. Throughout his career, Senator Biden’s top priority is and always has been to make sure our families are safer in their communities and that our country remains strong in the world.

As the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Biden is widely recognized as a leading expert on national security. He’s also been a leader in the effort to secure the homeland. Senator Biden knows that real security begins at home, and he demonstrated his concern for domestic security when he called for stronger defenses against terrorism within our borders long before the attacks of September 11.

Senator Biden also understands that security is about more than law enforcement. That’s why he’s working to ensure that our parents and grandparents can be financially secure in their later years. He’s worked to protect pensions and for drug-prescription programs that won’t drain their savings. He’s also worked to preserve the environment for all generations, by blocking efforts to weaken the laws that safeguard our air, water and food.
