Senator Coleman: Balancing The Budget, Promoting Fiscal Responsibility in Washington

Healthcare
One of the single biggest issues facing America is the rising cost of health care. During his time in office, Norm Coleman has traveled throughout the state to discuss a wide variety of health care issues with Minnesotans from all corners of the state. As a result of what he's heard, he is committed to finding a solution that taps into the energy and creativity of individuals, families and employers, where government coordinates resources rather than tries to control outcomes. Norm believes everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care that they, not the government, control. Continue
National Security
Senator Coleman is committed to guarding America's security through a strong national defense.

Supporting Our Veterans
The first piece of legislation authored and passed by Norm Coleman in the Senate was a bill requiring the Pentagon to pay our troops' travel expenses when they head home from abroad for rest and relaxation. That bill set the stage for a number of future efforts to honor the sacrifices of our soldiers and veterans on the Senate floor. As the son of a WWII Veteran who received the Purple Heart, Norm Coleman is fully committed to serving our veterans. Coleman has a long record of strongly supporting federal funding for veterans benefit programs at the highest level possible, voting over 30 times to increase veterans funding during his time office, which has resulted in a 67% increase in funding for veterans' programs since he took office in 2003.Continue

Energy Independence
With America still relying on an outdated energy infrastructure designed in the twentieth century, Senator Coleman has outlined a plan to update our energy infrastructure to meet today's changing and diverse energy needs. Through the establishment of a National Energy Infrastructure Trust Fund, Senator Coleman’s plan would update and expand our energy infrastructure – including expansion of wind transmission lines, CO2 pipelines, E-85 pumps and nuclear energy infrastructure, among others - with the same vigor and comprehensive approach that President Dwight Eisenhower used to overhaul our transportation system beginning in the 1950s.Continue
