Richard Lugar
R-IN |
A true
statesman, Senator Richard Lugar frequently steps above the partisan
fray to offer leadership on the role of the U.S. in the world. A leader
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Lugar has been a
long-time advocate of internationalism. He has stood strong on
nonproliferation issues with former Senator Sam Nunn (D-GA) and current
Senator Barack Obama (D-IL). He also cosponsored climate change
legislation with Senator Joe Biden (D-DE). Citizens for Global Solutions
has worked with Senator Lugar as he advocated for ratification of the

Patricia Madrid
D-NM-1 |
Patricia
Madrid is running against Representative Heather Wilson (R) in the 1st
Congressional District in New Mexico. Currently the Attorney General,
Ms. Madrid is devoted to important global issues such as climate change,
alternative energy, development aid and international cooperation.
Citizens for Global Solutions' Annual Meeting 2005 was held in
Representative Wilson's district , where we heard local voices crying
out for a change in this seat, and calling for someone to address global
health issues and more U.S. cooperative engagement with the world,
values we all share.

Claire McCaskill
D-MO
|
Claire
McCaskill is currently State Auditor in Missouri and she is challenging
incumbent Senator Jim Talent (R) in November. She strongly believes in
addressing climate change and promoting alternative energy sources. She
backs a cooperative U.S. foreign policy and plans to work on global
health issues when she comes to Washington. Her opponent has
continuously performed poorly on Citizens for Global Solutions' issues
during his time in the U.S. Senate. Let’s send someone to complement the
strong global voices from the Missouri delegation to Congress, including
Representative Lacy Clay (D-MO 01), Russ Carnahan (D-MO 03), and Emanuel
Cleaver (D-MO 05).

Jerry McNerney
D-CA-11 |
Among the
worst Members of Congress on global and domestic issues is incumbent
Representative Richard Pombo (R) from California’s 11th District.
Running against him this fall is Jerry McNerney, a businessman who
understands the importance of alternative energy and the impact of
climate change on the United States and the world. In addition to
Citizens for Global Solutions' endorsement, Mr. McNerney just received
the endorsement of Pete McCloskey, a Republican who ran against Mr.
Pombo in the June Republican primary. Let’s swap Pombo for McNerney come
November!

Betty Sutton
D-OH-13 |
Betty Sutton
(D) is running against Craig Foltin (R) for an open House seat in Ohio.
Mr. Foltin has repeatedly declined to answer our Candidate Questionnaire
regarding his stance on our issues. Ms. Sutton, when asked about foreign
policy, remarked that the U.S. should operate as a part of the
international community, not solely on its own. Ms. Sutton believes in
tackling global health concerns, addressing climate change, and working
with the United Nations on peacekeeping and other matters — all
important issues for Citizens for Global Solutions supporters!

Jim Walsh
R-NY |
Jim Walsh is a
globally-minded Representative in upstate New York. During his terms in
Congress, he has consistently supported engaging with the U.N. and
funding its critical international activities. He has also opposed
cutting U.S. aid to nations that have joined the International Criminal
Court. As a senior member of the powerful Appropriations committee, he
has opposed funding cuts in development aid, HIV/AIDS work, and child
survival and health programs. Let's make sure this November we keep good
people like Representative Walsh in Congress!

Jim Webb
D-VA |
Jim Webb is
running against incumbent George Allen for U.S. Senate in Virginia.
Senator Allen has been horrible on our issues, getting D’s on our last
two Congressional Report Cards. What makes this race most critical?
Senator Allen sits on the Foreign Relations Committee, one of the key
Congressional committees that Citizens for Global Solutions works with!
As U.S. Senator, Jim Webb will: Support working with the ICC to
investigate crimes in Sudan, Uganda and the Congo; work to ensure
international organizations have the resources they need to keep global
diseases at bay; and invest in renewable technologies for energy.
