Issues
Saving America's Jobs
I believe in the American Dream because I'm living it. The solutions to so many of our nation's ills, from crime and poverty to dignified retirement and healthcare, can be found in good paying jobs.
Supporting the Military
My Iraq position is simple - bring the troops home. It is time to shift the burden of Iraq off the military that won the war and onto the shoulders of the politicians in Washington and in Baghdad who must now negotiate the peace.
Cleaning Up Washington
We really need to get the special interests out of politics - which is why I am pledging not to accept PAC money or lawyer and lobbyist money in this campaign, and why I have the independence to tell the truth.
Supporting Local Farmers
Predatory trade is hurting family farms. New York's farmers and growers are victims of the predatory trade policies of countries like China and our own government is not doing enough to protect fair and open markets.
