INSIDE: HEIDI ON THE ISSUES


Compare Heidi Heitkamp And Kevin Cramer On The Issues Facing North Dakotans


STRONG AND SAFE COMMUNITIES
Since day one, Heidi Heitkamp has been working across the aisle on solutions both sides can agree on to reduce health care costs and improve access for North Dakota families, seniors, and veterans–no matter where they live. Heidi is working to shut down human trafficking websites and led the fight to impose tougher penalties for sex trafficking.

Kevin Cramer put his political interests first when he voted to eliminate health care protections for 300,000 North Dakotans with pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, and even cancer.

FIGHTING FOR VETERANS
After years of veterans having to drive hours across the state to get to a veterans hospital, Heidi secured funding to successfully bring a Vet Health Care Center to Grand Forks, making it easier for veterans to receive care closer to their homes. She's held the VA accountable for chronic issues impacting veterans care and pushed for programs that will keep North Dakota veterans more connected to the employment and health care resources they deserve.

Kevin Cramer voted against veterans when he voted for a bill to cap tuition assistance under the GI Bill, which would have helped students enrolled at UND's School of Aerospace Sciences. He even voted against increasing the number of desperately needed staff who process insurance claims for veterans.

STANDING UP FOR SENIORS
Heidi is relentless when it comes to protecting Medicare and Social Security. She also believes retirees are entitled to every nickel of the pensions they paid into their entire careers. That's why as your U.S. Senator she has fought hard, and will continue to do so, against any cuts to these important lifelines our seniors depend on.

Kevin Cramer voted to allow insurers to impose what
the AARP labeled an "Age Tax'' on North Dakotans age 50-64, potentially charging them up to five times as much as younger consumers. Even worse, he supports Social Security privatization, which would undermine the guaranteed benefit, and supported changes to Medicare that would raise the cost of health care for seniors.

FOR NORTH DAKOTA

A lifelong North Dakotan, Heidi grew up alongside her six brothers and sisters in the small, rural town of Mantador. Raised by a school-cook and janitor mom and a dad whose jobs ranged from volunteer firefighter to seasonal construction worker, Heidi was taught the values of hard work and service to her community from a young age. And she has carried those values with her as she represents North Dakota in the U.S. Senate – helping to write and pass a strong Farm Bill, protect access to quality health care for seniors, veterans and rural residents, strengthen our state's energy industry, and pave a viable path forward for coal.

Heidi knows hardworking North Dakota families because she was born and raised in a hardworking North Dakota family. Her deep love of North Dakota and the folks who call this state home is what drives her – every day – to put politics aside and bring that North Dakota common sense to Washington.
