- "As health care costs rise, we need to continue to look for creative ideas that rely on the marketplace to improve the quality of our health care system and empower individuals in their health care decisions. Portability of plans and allowing health care insurance companies to compete across state lines is a start." (votesmart.org)
- "Now, of course, the economic malaise we suffer under is due in large part to the woeful economic policies of the current administration and its enablers in the Senate (and the House before the Democrat majority was replaced in the election of 2010). This anti-business, anti-job growth agenda -- most notably led by the uncertainty inducing passage of the Affordable Care Act -- has taken a heavy toll on the ability of businesses, and especially small businesses, to grow and add jobs to the economy.That's right; small businesses, which are the number one employer in our district and in the country have been squeezed by higher taxes, the Affordable Care Act and its uncertainties, and high energy prices. Some companies may have dodged the Affordable Care Act's penalties this year, but business owners know that cost is coming down the road in the near future, so they refuse to hire." (votesmart.org)
- "The first step in immigration reform is to secure the border, enforce existing laws, and reform our legal immigration system. Immigration reform must take a common-sense approach that focuses on a long-term solution that is clear, concise, and enforceable." (votesmart.org)
