Bolstering the Economy

In Congress, Christine will fight to preserve our quality of life by fighting to bring high paying jobs to the 13th District. She will work to create a tax code that is fair to everyone and easier to understand. She will also be a champion for the middle class. Her proposals to provide middle-class tax relief include programs to raise the estate tax exemption, make higher education more affordable and provide relief from skyrocketing homeowners' insurance rates. She will also work to promote permanent tax relief for the middle class by ending the marriage penalty and extending child and small business tax credits. Christine will fight for a balanced budget and responsible fiscal policies that ensure Medicare, Social Security and other important programs remain intact.
