- ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
"Investing in research and development for alternative energies here in southern New Mexico is critical for the future of our environment and for the creation of new jobs."
- EDUCATION
“Teachers need better pay and less bureaucracy; schools with high non-English speaking or special needs populations need a level playing field; and standardized exams must not be the only incentive for students.”
- FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
"Every dollar our government spends that it does not have is a dollar stolen directly from the pockets of our children and grandchildren."
- HEALTHCARE
"A functioning healthcare system that provides affordable, quality healthcare to every single American is critical for families."
- IRAQ
"Our brave men and women in uniform have done everything they can in Iraq. It's time for us to create and implement a plan that brings home our troops safely, quickly, and with honor."
- JOBS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
"When good jobs are scarce, everyone's quality of life goes down. When there is no way to earn a living, the very existence of many of our small communities is threatened."
- VETERANS ISSUES
“As a nation, we must ask ourselves: Are we providing our Veterans the level of services and support that they need and have earned? I believe that we are not. I believe we must do much more. As the son of a retired Army Lt. Colonel, I pledge that Veterans issues will be one of my top priorities in Congress.”
