On the Issues

For too many years, the economic agenda in Washington has worked against the interests of middle class Americans.  Congress Welch strongly believes that restoring our economy will take more than a quick-fix.  It will take a return to the core truth Vermonters know: our economic policies must build and preserve our middle class.

Congressman Welch is a tireless advocate for our nation's veterans and the men and women currently serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world.  He has fought since his first days in office for policies that support the brave men and women who have sacrificed for the security of our country.

Congressman Welch is one of the leading opponents of the Iraq war in the U.S. House of Representatives. He vigorously opposed the war before it began and while serving in Congress has consistently supported efforts to end it.
