Solutions Instead of Politics

Excerpt: "These days Congress spends so much time playing politics that the people are being overlooked. Getting re-elected and promoting your political party should never come before the interests of your district. We need leaders focused on solving problems – not winning elections."[7]

Education

Excerpt: "We must invest in education if we’re going to grow our economy and compete in a world marketplace. I will protect education funding and work to make certain the state receives the support it needs. I oppose the No Child Left Behind law and applaud Kansas for seeking a waiver."[8]

Jobs

Excerpt: "I support responsible, measured investments with clear goals in infrastructure and research. Such investments create good jobs, foster innovation and build the economy of the future."[9]

Responsible

Excerpt: "I can’t balance the federal budget all by myself, but I can promise that I will follow four basic principles as I do everything I can to restore this nation to fiscal health. When considering any bill affecting the budget, I will (1) protect your wallet, (2) seek fair tax policies, (3) protect the elderly and vulnerable, and (4) maintain the functions we rely on."[10]
