Strengthening our National Security
As a former Lieutenant Commander in the Navy Reserve, the son of a WWII veteran who served in Eisenhower's army, and a father of three, I am absolutely committed to protecting and strengthening our national security.
In the Michigan Senate, I introduced and passed legislation to combat biological, chemical, and nuclear terrorism - three years before the attacks in 2001. That's the kind of leadership I will bring to Washington.
Iraq, Afghanistan, and Terrorism
I believe that we must responsibly end the war in Iraq, begin redeploying our troops now, and refocus our efforts on defeating the terrorists who attacked us on September 11th.
Energy Independence
Our dependence on foreign oil puts our national security in jeopardy and leaves us vulnerable to the whims of unfriendly and unstable nations. This is unacceptable, and we must take action to free ourselves from foreign oil.
Protect and Preserve our Friendship with Israel
Israel is the lone democracy in a sea of tyranny. In Congress I will fight to make sure that the U.S. - Israeli relationship remains strong.
Secure our Borders
A strong national defense requires secure borders. We must be able to know, and control, who comes into our country in order keep out those who would do us harm.
In Congress, I will be a strong voice for a vigorous national defense that strengthens our military, improves our national security, and restores our influence around the world.
