- "Every person has a right to accessible and affordable forms of safe and effective contraception. I also believe every American has the right to be informed and aware of the choices available to him or her. Sex and reproduction are very personal and private issues and are choices best left up to the individual, not to the government. I refuse to stand by while many in the GOP whittle away at contraceptive access and apply their extreme views in irresponsible ways while ignoring healthcare science and actual data." (votesmart.org)

However; we want an education system that encourages a child's natural curiosity and zeal for learning, not one that takes away their personal identity and forces them into a cookie-cutter model of success. More Tests are not the answer. Standardization will only cause more children to fall through the cracks." (votesmart.org)

That is why I want to introduce legislation to ensure that every gun sale everywhere is subject to a background check." (votesmart.org)
