Issue Position: Fighting for the Middle Class

Issue Position

Rhode Island was hit especially hard by the economic downturn, and too many individuals are still looking for work. Jack Reed understands that the foundation of a strong economy is a thriving and vibrant middle class, built on quality jobs, decent pay, and affordable health care and education.

That's why his top priority is pushing for common sense measures that create jobs and improve our economy. Because Reed knows that all families deserve the opportunity to succeed.

He is working hard to level the playing field for small businesses and families by supporting responsible reforms that preserve middle class tax cuts, eliminate wasteful loopholes, and ensure that the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share.

As a leading consumer advocate, Reed is making sure that financial products and services work better for consumers, who should never have to fall victim to unfair, deceptive, and abusive financial practices and products.
