How Jim Baird Votes

1. Healthcare: Baird has consistently voted against measures that would expand access to affordable healthcare. In a time when many Americans are struggling with medical bills and lack of coverage, his stance fails to address the urgent needs of our community.

2. Climate Change: Despite overwhelming scientific evidence, Baird has shown little initiative in tackling climate change. His lack of support for renewable energy projects and environmental protections puts our planet and future generations at risk. Investing in green energy not only combats climate change but also creates jobs and drives economic growth.

3. Education: Baird's support for cuts in education funding undermines the quality of education for our children. We need strong investment in our schools, teachers, and students to ensure a bright future for our country. His approach does not prioritize the necessary resources for our educational system.

4. Economic Inequality: Baird’s voting record indicates a preference for policies that benefit the wealthy at the expense of working families. Tax cuts for the rich and corporations widen the income gap and hurt middle and lower-income households. We need fair economic policies that provide opportunities for all, not just the privileged few.

5. Gun Control: Baird has opposed common-sense gun control measures that aim to reduce gun violence and protect our communities. With rising concerns about public safety, it is crucial to implement responsible gun laws that balance the rights of individuals with the safety of the public.

6. Veterans’ Affairs: While Baird is a veteran himself, his record on veterans’ issues is mixed. There have been instances where his votes did not fully support the benefits and services that our veterans need and deserve. We owe it to our service members to provide them with comprehensive support upon their return to civilian life.

7. Infrastructure: Baird has not shown strong support for significant infrastructure investments that are essential for modernizing our transportation, utilities, and communication systems. Robust infrastructure is vital for economic development and public safety.
