Getting our economy back on track so that it works for working Americans is one of the Congresswoman's most important priorities. Americans are ready to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and they deserve a government that will equip businesses and families with the tools to succeed in the new economy - especially in the areas of education, health care, and energy. To meet these challenges, Congresswoman Halvorson supported the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which makes critical investments in our communities to save and create jobs, including an estimated 8,600 jobs in the 11th District. The bill also makes long-term investments to improve health care, education, and utilization of renewable energy in our country. Congresswoman Halvorson supports continued investments in priorities that will sustain a strong middle class - while balancing these priorities with an acknowledgement that sustained progress is only possible through fiscal responsibility. By equipping families and businesses with the tools they need to create jobs and succeed and maintaining a streamlined, efficient government, Congresswoman Halvorson believes we can lead our nation to a more prosperous, secure future. |
