Unemployment is high and the cost of health care, food and energy are rising, making it difficult for American families to make ends meet. As your Representative in Congress, I will continue to support initiatives that create jobs, stimulate our economy and provide assistance to those struggling to find work. We must get people back to work safely.

Even as the economy continues to recover, Americans of all backgrounds are still looking for work. I strongly believe that expanding access to quality education is an essential step to improving our nation's long-term economic forecast. As a Member of Congress, I will continue to advocate for equal access to quality education and innovative programs that will prepare our children for college, career, and beyond.

Tackling our nation’s energy crisis will require a broad and comprehensive strategy that includes pursuing all forms of energy including wind, solar, nuclear, biofuels and coal. I will continue to strongly support the development of renewable energy sources that reduce our dependence on foreign oil and create new, innovative green jobs for Hoosiers. Since coming to Congress, I have had an opportunity to vote on a wide range of progressive energy bills that seek to create jobs, increase domestic energy production and protect our environment.
