“The U.S. Senate is broken. They spend their time bickering, pointing fingers and fighting about who deserves credit for what little they accomplish. Their focus is on getting re-elected, not on solving the real problems facing our families and communities. Nothing will change if we just send the same people back to Washington, D.C. The Senate needs new leaders who will actually solve problems.” – Mike McGavick Mike McGavick is exactly the proven problem solver we need. Born and raised in Washington, Mike is a father, husband and business leader. Mike worked in the Senate at a time when it actually produced results. As the CEO of Safeco, Mike brought people together and through hard work and personal responsibility, led Safeco back from the brink of bankruptcy, saving thousands of Northwest jobs. Mike’s decisive leadership will produce results. Deficit Spending. Out of control federal spending hurts every American. A consistent vote for higher taxes, the incumbent voted for more spending than any other Senator in the 108th Congress. Mike has a record of delivering better services more efficiently. He will make the hard choices to stop deficit spending. Terrorism. America is still vulnerable to terrorist attack and the Senate has not done enough to protect us. Mike will vote to adopt the full set of 9/11 Commission recommendations for a safer America. Border Security. Unsecured borders threaten our communities but the Senate doesn’t act. We must secure our borders while providing for an adequate workforce. While the Senate is gridlocked by partisanship, our problems get worse. They have closed their minds and hearts. But it hasn’t always been this way. It’s time to send back a voice of Northwest common sense and civility, Mike McGavick, to focus again on solving the real problems facing our families and communities. |
