U.S. SENATOR
Debbie Stabenow
STANDING UP FOR MICHIGAN's MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES

Bringing New Innovative Jobs to Michigan
 
Debbie Stabenow knows that a strong Michigan means a strong auto industry, vibrant small businesses and so much more. She is helping move Michigan into the future by working with innovative businesses to create new jobs in areas like advanced batteries, high-tech manufacturing, wind and solar. Her Grow It Here, Make It Here plan is bringing agriculture and manufacturing together to create new bio-manufacturing jobs, all rooted in our Michigan way of life.
 
Cracking Down on China and Others That Cheat on Trade
 
Senator Stabenow is leading the charge to enforce our trade laws. She fought for a new trade enforcement unit that is cracking down on countries like China that steal the jobs of Michigan workers. Her Bring Jobs Home legislation would end tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas and instead cut taxes for companies that bring jobs back home to America. She is leading the effort to crack down on China's currency manipulation, which hurts American companies and costs us jobs.
 
Making Government Accountable
& Growing Michigan's Agriculture Economy
 
Debbie Stabenow believes we should save taxpayers money by evaluating every government program and ending those that don't work. That's exactly what she did as Chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee when she passed the only bi-partisan deficit reduction bill this year.

Her Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act cuts spending by $23 billion, ends wasteful farm subsidies, cracks down on food stamp abuse, and eliminates over 100 unnecessary programs and authorizations.

 
Protecting Medicare and Social Security
 
Michigan's families have paid into Medicare and Social Security, and when our seniors retire, they are counting on the benefits they've earned. But now Republicans, backed by big Washington lobbyists, want to gut these programs to pay for more tax breaks for millionaires and special interests like the oil companies and drug companies. Debbie Stabenow is standing up to those special interests and won't let that happen. She is leading the fight to strengthen Social Security and Medicare today and for the future.
