- Greg Rabidoux. Issue Position: Economic Recovery and Job Creation. "I supported what many economists saw was a necessary stimulus to our national economy to help jump-start it. However, our long-term growth as a nation and sustainable prosperity must not be built on continuous deficit spending but upon a rock-solid foundation. This means we must again do the types of things that made our nation an economic giant and a revered engine of capitalism around the globe." (votesmart.org)
- Greg Rabidoux. Blog: Alliance of Retired Americans Endorsement. 17 September 2010. "Rabidoux said he is proud to earn this endorsement and full support of the Alliance for Retired Americans. "I fully appreciate the challenges facing so many of our older Americans and Tennesseans today," said Rabidoux. "When elected to Congress, I will be a strong and unwavering advocate for all our seniors and will fight to preserve and protect Social Security and Medicare. I strongly oppose the incumbent Marsha Blackburn's efforts to eliminate Social Security and Medicare with risky privatization schemes. Blackburn's plan to place the life savings of all our older Tennesseans at risk after they worked hard their whole life to have security and peace of mind in their retirement years is not the answer. Not now. Not ever." (votesmart.org)

- Greg Rabidoux. Issue Position: Creating a Culture of Educational Excellence. "We need to keep what is best from the No Child Left Behind Act, which seems to be certainly more of an emphasis on measurability, outcome based teaching and accountability while reformatting the rest. We should not be solely focused upon creating a generation of teachers and students who are teaching and learning solely to pass a uniform test but we need also to ensure we are developing students who are well equipped with many skills to compete and thrive in today's global workforce."
