- Jerry Campbell. Issue Position: Social Security. "The Social Security System must remain a government-funded insurance program. For years the Republicans have pushed to privatize the system. In other words, they would like to invest the S.S. Trust Fund in the stock market. I absolutely oppose this risky plan. It is wrong!" (votesmart.org)

- Jerry Campbell. Issue Position: Education. "The No Child Left Behind Act was an impossible mandate because it was never funded. The Act was sabotaged by those Congressional Members who refused its funding. It has become commonplace for politicians to attempt to solve all of society's problems on the backs of its public school teachers. Teachers are being laid off and classroom size increased. A nation that has declared war against its educators cannot survive. If Congress can afford to bail out the Wall Street Banks they can afford to support our public school system. Our children are too important for any other course of action." (votesmart.org)

- Jerry Campbell. Issue Position: Health Care. "At long last, after thirty years of opposition from the other Party, we have a comprehensive health care reform act. It protects children, individuals with pre-existing conditions, and more. However, my opponent and other Republicans are dedicated to the destruction of the bill. We must fight to keep this precious legislation. I support a strengthened Public Option available to all. If you like what you have now keep it. Still, we must provide a way to allow Americans to escape the unscrupulous behavior of some insurance companies." (votesmart.org)
