Ben Cardin is the
Junior United States Senator from Maryland since the election in 2006. Cardin
is a member of the Democratic Party and a former House of Representative from
1987-2007. Being
the incumbent, he is challenged by republican Daniel Bongino.
Cardin believes that
we need to work to guarantee that Maryland’s small businesses have access to
credit and other tools for their success. In other words, he would like to see
small businesses thrive. He would like
to see Maryland develop policies that would help the economy. Cardin would like
to see more opportunities for jobs throughout Maryland, and all across the
United States. He encourages the Budget Control Act of 2011. It is a compromise
to raise the debt ceiling in steps in return for putting deficit reduction
measures in place.
He would like to put
the Affordable Care Act into effect. This act provides coverage to all
Americans and reduces our budget deficit. The Affordable
Care Act bans insurance companies from imposing lifetime dollar limits on
health benefits, which protects the 3.7 million Maryland residents who have
private insurance plans. Cardin promotes lifesaving protective services
and research.
He believes in improving
the effectiveness of U.S. and multilateral aid programs. He stated that “our
nation depends on three D’s: diplomacy, defense, and development.” Cardin would
like to continue to have the resources necessary to carry out their high
priority missions. He would like to ensure that we
bring our troops home at an appropriate and honorable manner.
