Legislative Issues Facing Congress
White Spacer

White Spacer


There are many important legislative issues facing Congress today. As we consider and debate these issues, there are some principles that I believe reflect the beliefs and interests of my constituents. Some of these principles are summarized below. Please click on subject links for more information and related links.

EDUCATION:
I believe that every citizen is entitled to a quality elementary and secondary public education and that continuing and higher education should be available to all who seek it, regardless of their economic status.

ENVIRONMENT:
I believe that protecting our environment should be among our highest priorities and oppose proposals before Congress that could have devastating impacts on the environment and many of the nation's most precious natural resources.
