Civil Rights

All Americans are entitled to be treated equally under the law, regardless of whom they love. As Americans, we are all equal. Anything otherwise is just wrong. Learn more

When our veterans return home, there must be a full range of support systems in place. Supporting our veterans is a top priority for me. Learn more

Economy

Small and medium-sized businesses create the vast majority of new jobs, and they are the driving force behind economic growth and a thriving middle-class. The fastest and best way to propel this economy forward is to get these businesses hiring again. Learn more

I believe we must act without delay to address climate change. In Congress, I will support policies and investments that move our country toward creating the clean energy economy and reducing our carbon footprint. Learn more

Foreign Policy

Russia’s move to occupy and then annex Crimea is wrong and cannot be allowed to stand. I recognize that Crimea is a most complex situation, with a long history and deep connections to both Russia and Ukraine. But I also recognize that international laws and norms matter and that Russia’s actions violate both. Learn more

We must also continue to provide economic aid to Ukraine and support for Ukrainian development of democratic institutions. Learn more

I support the United Nations’ calls to Turkey to remove forces from Cyprus and allow for a settlement to take shape. We cannot allow for a continuation of the violation of human rights in Cyprus to continue. Learn more

The terrorist organization ISIS represents a clear and present danger to American national security, both directly to American interests and as a destabilizing force in an important region. To fully address the risks, I believe we must (1) defeat ISIS at its roots in Syria and Iraq; (2) identify, disrupt and dismantle ISIS satellite and allied groups in places like Libya, Sinai, Indonesia and anywhere else they appear; (3) track and prevent the flow of radicalized fighters and terrorists from Syria to other nations, including the U.S.; and (4) counter ISIS efforts to radicalize “home-grown” terrorists through social media and other means.

I believe the greatest threat to our national security and one of our biggest foreign policy challenges is preventing a nuclear capable Iran. Learn more

We need urgent action on comprehensive immigration reform. I proudly support this reform because we need an immigration system that matches the agility and competitiveness of the 21stCentury global marketplace and that secures our border in a way that promotes the practice of legal immigration. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

I support sensible, long-term investments in our nation’s infrastructure. Learn more

Legislation

I strongly supported theEquality Act.It is unconscionable to allow people to be legally discriminated against, whether in the workplace, in purchasing a home, or conducting their day-to-day business. The Senate needs to follow the House's example and pass this vital piece of legislation. Learn more
