Washington, D.C. - Statement from the National Republican Senatorial Committee on today’s announcement by U.S. Senator Carl Levin and the 2014 Michigan Senate race: “Over the last few months, the 2014 map has gone from sorta difficult to really tough for Senate Democrats. Politically, Senator Levin’s decision knocks a Democratic Senate already on defense far back on their heels and offers us a real pick up opportunity. Republicans can win in Michigan, as the Governor, Lt. Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General have proven. That is why we’ve been speaking to local officials and grassroots organizations in preparation for Senator Levin’s potential retirement, and now that groundwork will start to pay off.” – Brad Dayspring, Communications Director

NRSC Statement On Debbie Stabenow’s Latest Fiscal Legacy – A $15 Trillion Debt
Republicans Release New Video Highlighting Stabenow’s Reckless Spending Agenda WASHINGTON — When Debbie Stabenow first came to Washington in January 1997, the federal debt stood at $5.3 trillion. 14 years later, and particularly over the last three years, as Debbie Stabenow has rubber-stamped every major spending initiative proposed by President Obama, the federal debt has now hit the once-unfathomable mark of $15 trillion – a 181 percent increase and more than $48,000 for every American man, woman and child. To mark the United States Treasury reaching the $15 trillion debt mark today and to highlight the massive spending by Senator Stabenow and President Obama that has led to this point, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released a new web video – “$15,000,000,000,000…Siriously” “As a candidate for the Senate in 2000, Debbie Stabenow talked about the importance of fiscal responsibility, but since coming to the Senate she and her fellow…
Stabenow Votes To Hike Taxes On Michigan Businesses, While Coddling Captured Terrorists
Once Again, Loyally Stands Behind Obama, Instead Of Standing Up For Michigan WASHINGTON — In a series of votes that once again defined her Senate career as a reliable rubber-stamp for President Obama, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) last night voted to impose a permanent new tax on Michigan business owners to pay for another temporary stimulus bill, while also blocking a Republican effort to ensure captured terrorists are not offered the same rights as common criminals. And she did this all within a one-hour period of time. “Debbie Stabenow preaches fiscal responsibility back home in Michigan, but she votes like a typical tax-and-spend, big government liberal when she’s in Washington,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox said today. “This vote defined a clear difference in next year’s Senate race – Stabenow believes it’s the federal government that creates jobs with higher taxes and more spending, while Republicans believe…
Unemployment Rises To 9.1% In Wake Of Stabenow & Obama’s Failed $787 Billion Stimulus
In yet another reminder that President Obama and liberal U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow’s (D-MI) $787 billion stimulus failed to create jobs while driving our national debt past $14.3 trillion, the U.S. Department of Labor reports today that national unemployment has risen again to 9.1 percent. Today’s rise in unemployment is just the latest development to highlight the failure of Obama and Stabenow’s tax-and-spend economic policies in Washington. While Stabenow and the Obama Administration promised their $787 billion stimulus would create “millions of new jobs” and keep national unemployment below 8 percent, the United States has actually lost more than 1.8 million jobs since Stabenow helped her Washington party bosses ram it into law – and national unemployment has remained above 8 percent now for 28 consecutive months. “As the unemployment rate rises to 9.1 percent, Michiganders are reminded once again that the Obama-Stabenow agenda of reckless spending has failed to…
