Violence is a problem we all want to solve. I want to make sure that kids learn to deal with anger by learning how to talk with people to solve problems. Here in the United States Senate I want to make sure we have safe schools, safe neighborhoods and good things for kids to do after school!

I am pro choice, I believe everyone should have the right to decide for themselves.

If we have a foreign country, which it appears that we do, interfering in an election in any way, we need to know that, and we need to do everything we can to make sure that never happens again.

By working together to focus on our national priorities today we can ensure that the state of our union is strong for the future.
