Answers to Week One Questions






   The goal of our blog is to answer your questions about Robin Carnahan and her campaign for the U.S. Senate. Here are the answers to this weeks questions.
“What party is Robin Carnahan from and what does she stand for?”
      – Charles Noelle, Student 

    Robin Carnahan is running on the Democratic ticket for U.S. Senate in the state of Missouri. She has solid positions on many different issues but overall she stands for the rights of the middle class American. Carnahan says she is tired of the bull in Washington and if she is elected she will put an end to it all and get things done. See the answers to questions below for more on her positions on the issues. 
“What is her stand on education and healthcare?”
      –Mandy Love, Student
   Carnahan believes that every child has the right to a quality education and that it is the government’s responsibility to provide opportunities for that education. With better education the United States will be able to remain competitive in the global economy. To achieve this goal Carnahan advocates for “for commonsense education policies that empower local school districts, improve teaching and learning conditions, encourage more family and community involvement, and ensure public resources and revenue go towards public schools.” To learn specifics about her positions on education visit Carnahan's website.
   As far as healthcare is concerned, Carnahan believes that the outrageous spending on healthcare in this country needs to be curbed. These costs are a burden to the families of Missouri and are threatening our nation’s economy. The money isn’t even going to the working class families in our nation, it’s going to the CEOs of the insurance companies. Robin Carnahan has a unique view on healthcare because as a breast cancer survivor she has seen firsthand how necessary it is to have affordable care. As a U.S. Senator Carnahan will advocate for cutting costs, putting doctors and patients in charge of care, protecting and strengthening Medicare and providing greater access to healthcare for everyone. Check out Carnahan's website for more information on her position on healthcare.
