Legislative Issues

In just a short time, Rep. McCotter has already established a lengthy list of legislative accomplishments.

Reducing the Tax Burden on Michigan Families
When Rep. McCotter was a member of the House Budget Committee, Rep. McCotter worked to put in place the President’s tax relief proposal and curb wasteful government spending. Like all Michigan families, the government should live within its means, balance its budget, and not waste hard earned taxpayer dollars. He has never voted for a tax increase.

Fighting the War on Terrorism
As a Member of the House International Relations Committee, McCotter is helping to shape America’s foreign policies that will ensure our security and foster the spread of democracy.

Keeping Michigan At Work
Michigan rises and falls on the strength of our manufacturing sector. New steel tariffs have hurt an industry already suffering and McCotter is working for relief. Rep. McCotter is also leading an effort to reform the Commerce Department, giving Michigan manufacturers a clear voice in industry policy.

Helping Improve Access to Health Care
Working with a bipartisan group of lawmakers, Rep. McCotter helped introduced an innovative program, improving access and understanding of the medical system to underserved communities.

Reducing Government Spending 
True prosperity comes from hard-working Americans—not bigger government. We must restore fiscal integrity into government budgeting, taxing, and spending, and to demand that Congress run the federal government like a family budget.
