  • "Right now, we have a broken system where too many big corporations and the wealthy can avoid paying their fair share. In Congress, I'll level the playing field by cutting taxes for middle-class families and small business that create jobs, and closing corporate tax loopholes that give tax breaks to companies that ship our jobs overseas."

  • "As a result of health care reform, more than 16 million Americans have gained health care coverage that they previously did not have. The law was by no means perfect, and that’s why we need to find ways to to bring costs down for families and small businesses; however, we cannot go back to a time when insurance companies were able to charge women more than men or denied health care coverage to those with pre-existing conditions." (onyourballot.vote411.org)
  • "In Congress, I will work to fix our broken immigration system and pass bipartisan immigration reform that secures our border, provides a tough but fair path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the shadows, and prevents our neighbors and their families from being torn apart."

  • "No one wants another protracted conflict in the Middle East, racking up more national debt and endangering the lives of our soldiers. That’s why our last resort should be to put more boots on the ground in the region. That said, we must consider all options when dealing with the growing threat of terrorism at home and abroad, and in ensuring the safety of U.S. citizens." (votersguide.michigan.com)
  • "Today, Wall Street Banks are donating millions to politicians who want to privatize Social Security, which would result in a windfall for Wall Street – even if seniors lose money. And the insurance industry is donating millions to politicians pushing a dangerous privatizations plan. The insurance industry would make billions, while seniors would pay thousands more. Suzanna will stand up to any attempt to privatize, reduce benefits, or turn the programs over to Wall Street and private health insurance companies." (www.suzannaforcongress.com)
