Issues
Health Care


Access to basic quality health care is one of the most important domestic issues facing our nation. Attention has been diverted from rising medical costs and expensive prescription drugs. It has become very difficult for the average American to stay healthy. Health care should be affordable for everyone. Seniors should be able to pay for medications in a simple and accessible way. I will continue to support legislation that provides American families and Seniors affordable health care.



Education


I know that investing in education is one of the most important things we can do, not only for our children, but for the benefit of our whole community. Funding and maintaining programs from Head Start to Pell Grants must be a high priority. I will continue to support programs that benefit public schools, teachers, and improve technology so that American students can compete and our community can thrive in an increasingly global economy.



Economy


Rising costs of gas, health care, and basic living essentials have put financial pressure on the average American worker. While prices of goods continue to rise, American worker's wages remain stagnant.  I will support legislation that benefits the American worker and prevents the outsourcing of American jobs.
