Issues
Economy
Real wages can’t keep up with rising costs. Our economy is drifting into recession, as gas and energy prices soar and health care costs continue to skyrocket. While Kentucky’s working middle class struggles to make ends meet, career politicians like Mitch McConnell remain mired in partisan politics, impotent to reverse our nation’s economic decline.Education
With Greg Fischer in the Senate, we'll finally have a leader who's cared enough to volunteer his time for Kentucky kids. In the Senate, Greg will work to increase Pell Grants and lower interest rates. He will work to increase funds for student loans, grants and work study programs so more kids can afford to go to college.Energy Independence
Good, old fashioned leadership is needed to rally our country to energy independence. The people of America will rally around a President and Senate that calls for all of us to rid our dependence on hostile foreign energy providers. We need to change leadership in Washington so our rally toward energy independence can begin.Health Care
Greg Fischer's first legislative priority will be passing a bill that prevents members of Congress from accepting their gold-plated tax-payer funded health care coverage until universal health care is a reality for every American. Maybe then we can get started on real change for health care in America.Iraq
Greg Fischer believes it's time to bring our soldiers home from Iraq in a swift, safe and responsible manner. Our brave men and women have done everything we have asked of them and are still fighting a courageous fight. They put their lives on the line for us everyday and we owe them and their families an end to this war. Washington has failed them.Veteran’s Issues
For our returning Veterans, Greg Fischer will make it a top priority to ensure that when veterans return home they are treated like the heroes they are. Grteg will work to provide them and their families with benefits designed to meet the needs of today's soldiers and their families. That is why Greg Fischer supports the bipartisan G.I. Bill for the 21st Century.
