Thank you for giving me the extraordinary honor of representing California in the U.S. Senate. I am gratified that I have no Democratic primary opposition. However, I ask for your vote of confidence as I prepare for a spirited November election. Elections are about the future: moving our economy forward with job creation leading the way; winning the battle over making education a national priority; challenging the special interest to ensure quality health care and affordable prescription drugs; stopping the attacks on our environment; and developing a foreign policy where the risks and burdens are shared with our allies. I am proud of my record, which includes protecting California families - from my amendment creating the federal after school program to keep our kids safe, to defending our clean air and water laws. After September 11, I wrote the law to add marshals to high-risk flights and worked to increase security around ports, chemical and nuclear plants. To revitalize our economy, I support targeted tax cuts and investments in highways, transit and other infrastructure needs. I support tough laws to protect pensions and I'm fighting for Social Security and Medicare. I believe we must return to fiscal responsibility and move away from massive deficits. Because government shouldn't be involved in our personal decisions, I am working to keep your personal records private and the right to Choose legal. I believe we can fight this new status quo and get our state and country moving in the right direction. Thank you.
