Scott Brown is a free-market advocate who believes our strength as a nation flows from its people. He believes in a culture of family, patriotism and freedom. At his September 12 announcement of candidacy for the U.S. Senate, Senator Brown articulate
a core set of beliefs that guide his thinking.
Government is too big; the federal stimulus bill made government bigger instead of creating jobs
Taxes are too high and are going higher if Congress continues with its out-of-control spending
The historic amount of debt we are passing on to our children and grandchildren is immoral
Power concentrated in the hands of one political party, as it is here in Massachusetts, leads to bad government and poor decisions
A strong military and vigorous homeland defense will protect our interests and security around the world and at home
All Americans deserve health care, but we shouldn't have to create a new government insurance program to provide it.
Senator Brown is a proud member of the Massachusetts National Guard, where he has served for nearly three decades and currently holds the rank of Lt. Colonel in the Judge Advocate Generals (JAG) Corps.
Brown was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service in homeland security following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
