Issue
What would you do to foster more cooperation across the aisle?
Democrat Susan Wild I come from a bipartisan household – conservative military father and liberal journalist mother – so I like to say I was born to be bipartisan, and my rating in the top 12% of most bipartisan members of Congress reflects that. Over 60% of the bills I've introduced have earned Republican support on issues ranging from mental health to supply chains. In Congress, my top priority is getting things done for our community, and I will work with anyone to pass legislation that lowers costs, strengthens manufacturing and makes health care more affordable and accessible.
Republican Lisa Scheller No response was received from the candidate by our deadline.
