Mobile - Wendy Rogers U.S. Congress District 9

WHY WENDY?

1. Fiscal Responsibility

Colonel Rogers believes that our country is at a critical crossroad. Choices we make in the November election will determine whether we continue down a path of failed policies that imperil our future or face the reality of the tough challenges ahead and begin to restore America's greatness. A vote for Wendy Rogers is a vote for job growth, economic recovery and debt reduction. Send to Washington DC a proven leader who will give fresh energy to efforts to:

Restore a business environment that is conducive to private sector job creation

Enable affordable healthcare and energy in ways that do not continue to undermine our economy

Get us back on a track where spending does not outpace revenue. Stop borrowing from our children and grandchildren.

2. Education

Empower students and parents with more flexibility in how they use education dollars. Local solutions are needed for local shortcomings, and the federal government should recognize that local communities, parents and schools know what's best for their children.

3. Secure Borders

Our nation's borders are fundamental to our national security and our sovereignty. For a legal immigration system to work, we must have a secure border so we know who is entering and departing the United States.
