By strengthening the economy, providing job opportunity and meeting the needs of working families, we can ensure the continued prosperity of our nation.

I intend to fight to ensure that Connecticut workers have a level playing field when competing for jobs.

Our strength and our security depends obviously on having a strong military, having a strong economy, and also on our ability to have willing allies and nations join us in common global efforts, the principal one today being terrorism.

Our nation's children are our greatest asset and our most precious treasure.

Working families need to know that we will work to protect their health needs, promote the development of safe, effective medicines, and guarantee patient rights.

Our seniors have worked long and hard to better the economy, raise families and serve their communities. They deserve to live independent and active lives in their golden years.

Connecticut's first responders and defense workers work every day to help us achieve these goals.
