Tag it:   Education Every child deserves a quality education. Improving our schools and providing students with access to affordable higher education are critical to America’s status as an economic leader in the world. As a father of two young sons, I want to make sure that Connecticut’s children have every opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. Read more... Energy Congress has been unacceptably slow to address our nation’s energy needs and our embarrassing dependence on foreign oil. Current leaders in Washington have been anything but “leaders” on this issue, and discussion on our nation’s energy needs has broken down into name-calling. Meanwhile, American consumers are feeling the pinch while they wait for Washington to act. Read more... Immigration America’s immigration system is broken. It’s putting our nation’s security at risk and is straining our social services like healthcare and education. Once again, Washington has failed to produce a common-sense solution to this problem because of the bickering that is all too commonplace in Congress. Read more... National Security All of the wonderful freedoms we enjoy as Americans mean nothing if our government cannot protect us. I am a staunch supporter of our military and a strong national defense, and will stand up in Congress to make sure our military men and women receive all the tools they need to keep us safe, and the compensation and benefits they deserve for putting their lives on the line. “Support the Troops” means with actions, and Congress should never play politics with funding for those who wear our nation’s uniform; not during their tours of duty, and not when they return home. As long as American soldiers are in harm’s way, I will ALWAYS vote to fully fund their needs.

I'll brin that same common sense approach to Washington because it's YOUR money. Washington has been wasting your hard-earned tax dollars for too long, under both parties, and you deserve better. Read more... Taxes As a resident of the State that has the highest overall tax burden in the nation, I believe that Congress needs to do everything it can to lower taxes on Connecticut families. Tax cuts stimulate our economy and create jobs by unlocking the potential that lies in American businesses and workers. I fundamentally believe that it is the ingenuity of Americans, NOT the government, that is the most powerful engine for economic prosperity. Read more... |
