On Education: Improve our public schools

I’m running for Congress because I believe in fighting for a government that works for all of us - not just the privileged and connected. Like many of you, I am fed up with the bad decisions being made in Washington, and how they impact us here in Southern Arizona. In Washington, I will fight for the priorities that are important to us:

Expanding access to affordable health care
Improving our public schools
Protecting the open spaces we love
Investing in renewable energy.

In Washington, I will fight for the priorities that are important to us:

Expanding access to affordable health care

On Health Care: Expand access to affordable health care

I ran for the state legislature because I wasn’t satisfied with the decisions the politicians in Phoenix were making for us. They were failing the people of Arizona on the issues of expanding access to health care, creating good jobs, and supporting our public schools. In Washington, I will fight for the priorities that are important to us:

Expanding access to affordable health care
Improving our public schools
Protecting the open spaces we love
Investing in renewable energy.

On War & Peace: Strategic redeployment to bring our troops home

On Iraq, Giffords advocates a new strategy that balances two goals - first, a targeted plan of strategic redeployment to bring our troops home and pressure Iraq’s government to take responsibility for governance, and second, ensuring that Iraq is secure. She opposes building permanent bases in Iraq, and advocates the replacement of Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense.
