Economy
This country needs vision – a long term economic prosperity plan - and a balanced approach.

Education
We must follow through on the commitment to leave no child behind by adequately funding inner-city schools, and school construction, and by giving raises to our teachers.

Environment
It is not about hindering development or progress, but about setting priorities for the type of environment that we wish to leave our children.

Guns
Not the type of Democrat who will take away guns from law abiding citizens.

Health Care
A prescription drug benefit for seniors and a real patients' bill of rights are long overdue.

On Iraq
Jack supports the resolution that was passed.

On the Bridges
Jack supports constructing both bridges, simultaneously, and as a Member of Congress, will work diligently to ensure both are funded and built.

Prescription Drugs
Jack supports a federally funded prescription drug benefit under Medicare, with a low monthly premium and low co-payments.

Social Security
Jack opposes privatizing all or part of Social Security. Social Security is a social insurance program, not an investment club.

Welfare Reform
As a moderate, fiscally responsible Democrat, Jack supports bipartisan welfare reform efforts.
