I try very hard to listen to
my constituents and to represent them faithfully in the U.S. Congress.
That is why I am always happy to hear from you. To find out how I stand
on some of the most important issues facing our country, please take a
look below, or feel free to contact me .
Economy
We all count on a thriving economy for the good jobs we need to provide for our families and to reach for the American dream.
Veterans
All of us owe a profound debt of gratitude to our veterans and their
families, whenever they served, for they have borne the true cost of
service. As a former military spouse who is now proud to call my
husband "veteran," I know the personal cost is high for all, but
incredibly high for some.
Health Care
The need for affordable healthcare is one of the most pressing issues
facing our country. The United States has the best physicians and the
best medical technology in the world. But many of our own citizens
can't afford it-including millions of middle-class families.
Education
Investment in education is an investment in the future of American
families and the middle class. A good education leads to good jobs and
allows people to provide well for their families. Without a strong,
accessible, affordable educational system, the middle class cannot stay
strong and help our economy grow.
Civil Liberties
The founders of our country fought to create a nation "conceived in
liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created
equal."
Terrorism
On September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked by members of Al
Qaeda, a fanatical terrorist organization. We lost over 3,000 Americans
on that day - one that will forever haunt us. To be successful in the
fight against terrorism, we must create a much more coherent strategy.
This will mean increasing our efforts in Afghanistan, rethinking our
strategy in Iraq, and working with people and with nations who fully
supported us after September 11th.
Science & Technology
For almost two centuries, the United States has been a dominant
scientific and technological power. Americans invented the light bulb
and the television, the telephone and the artificial heart. To be
prosperous, our country must continue to be a center of innovation.
You can always feel free to contact my offices if you have any additional questions about my position on any issue.
