- The fact of the matter is, these trillion dollar deficits, that's no longer a republican issue or a democratic issue. Both administrations are guilty of running up red ink.It's a math issue and so what we need to do is return to regular order, work together as democrats or republicans and solve this problem before it's unsolvabe. One trillion dollar deficits are just not sustainable, and we need to address that before it becomes a crisis. What we've seen over the past decade, and it's continuing presently, is just passing continuous resolutions, feeding the beast, running up the debt on the national credit card. That's got to change."

- "As a product of North Dakotaâs education system from grade school through college, Mac knows the importance of investing in public education across our state. Thatâs why in the state senate Mac supported funding for pre-kindergarten programs, voted to increase the stateâs share of K-12 funding, and made collage affordability a priority. In Congress, Mac will work with Republicans and Democrats to support public education at every level. Whether it is early childhood education or encouraging job-creating research at universities like UND and NDSU, Mac will stand with students, educators, and locally-elected officials to invest in education, a productive workforce, and strong economy."
