- Our Economic Future
-
The next congressman from Pennsylvania's Fifth District must partner with state and local officials, as well as private-sector leaders in agriculture, alternative energy, higher education, banking, health care, telecommunications, and high-tech research to make Pennsylvania a better place to launch new businesses, retain human capital and reclaim older urban areas. And all of these changes must have a single focus: Creating good jobs.
- Improving Access to Health Care
-
It is time to turn elect a new class of problem-solving lawmakers dedicated to serving the public instead of ignoring major economic problems. Getting affordable health care for working Americans must be a top priority for Congress.
- Stabilizing Iraq and Finding the Exit
-
I believe we do need to get out of Iraq, because staying there for 100 years would radicalize young men throughout the Middle East. Staying in place would cause more terrorism in that neighborhood and around the globe. Staying there, with no exit strategy, would be counterproductive, doing more harm than good.
