On The Issues
Katherine Jenerette is an experienced solid leader with conservative values and principles for government. She has clearly demonstrated her dedication to her community through volunteer service to the state and our region in the political arena and to the nation overall as a soldier in the Persian Gulf War. Her commitment to our US Constitution and real world experiences stand her apart from most public servants.
Katherine is not your typical politician. Katherine Jenerette steps up and she gets things done. Jenerette’s legislative agenda includes the issues of the Economy, National Security, Health Care, Education, District Roads such as I-73 and Infrastructure including a Regional SC/NC Bi-State Airport, Budget Control, Illegal Immigration, Tax reform, the War on Terror, a comprehensive ENERGY policy of Domestic Oil, Solar, Wind, Nuclear and Clean Coal utilization, Compulsory Military Service and revisiting the bureaucratic ‘No Child Left Behind’ education bill among other issues.

On Regional & Coastal issues and Constituent Services
Take Care of All the People of the District: ”While I know the difficulties of making change happen in Washington as a Congressman I know that my realistic impact can be through direct service to the people and the businesses in our district. By opening at least three more local offices; in Georgetown, in Conway and in Charleston, I can provide access to working people, retirees, businessmen and women, educators and a host of others that have worked hard, paid their taxes and count on their government to do those things that they cannot do alone. This includes social security and disability assistance, veterans’ administration assistance, roads and infrastructure, beach re-nourishment, economic development, natural resource conservation, etc. No Congressman can work miracles in Washington, but as a Representative I can be more active in the district and I will be here to help all of the people of our district.”
On the Economy:
“The economy is in serious trouble. My plan calls for immediate actions to be taken by the Congress and includes an indexed moratorium on the Federal Gasoline tax and permanent income tax cuts. The best way to help our consumer driven economy is to help people keep their own hard earned money. Our economic system is fueled by the people’s confidence to spend, and they can’t spend if the Congress keeps taxing them to death. The reality of a Democrat-controlled Congress cannot be ignored and their agenda cannot be challenged by status quo Republicans. As long as we were in the majority, it was easy to “Rubber-stamp” legislation - good or bad. But now, we need a Congressman who has insight, energy and the willpower to go on the offensive to introduce and push conservative legislation that is in the best interest of the people and businesses of our district. Direct challenge must be made to politicians who ‘play politics as usual’ with the best interest of the American people. The best way to control the federal budget and out-of-control spending is to not give any more money to politicians than necessary; most politicians never met a dollar they didn’t like.”
On the American Family:
“Traditional families and faith are at the core and the foundation of our nation. Many of the issues from social security, health care, education options, pro-life and marriage issues are of critical importance to the future of this nation. We cannot ignore the fact that with the Baby Boom Generation moving into retirement many of us face the prospect of being ‘sandwiched’ between our teenagers and the needs of our parents. Whether we are talking about retirees and the cost of prescription drugs or sensible, non-bureaucratic approaches to education for our children, these monumental challenges for our government and society cannot be ignored for long. As a mother of four children that attend public schools, as a college instructor and as a business woman I have come face-to-face with these real world issues and intend to introduce aggressive legislation to begin the difficult task of insuring that no American will be pushed to the sidelines because of Congressional ineptness.”
On Illegal Immigration - A Front Door Only Policy:
“A Border is a Border is a Border. The rule is this: If you come into the United States you come in through the front door not the back door. All that is left is to enact legislation that recognizes that fact of national security and sovereignty. We need to build the fence, control who crosses our borders and monitor non-citizens visa statuses in a responsible and realistic way. There is no doubt that the need for labor and a guest worker program is necessary - but we need a FRONT DOOR IMMIGRATION POLICY. My legislative agenda includes provisions for employers of ‘undocumented’ workers to assist their return to their country of origin and expeditiously, with full coordination and cooperation with those countries, be allowed to re-enter the US through the front door and return to their jobs. They return in a documented status and are allowed to take their place in line like everyone else with when it applies to citizenship requirements. Work visas like student visas like tourist visas are not an automatic ticket to citizenship. Immigrants line up like everyone else at the FRONT DOOR.
What an outstanding blog. Katherine is an absolutely terrific candidate for Congress and will be a "difference-maker" in Washington, DC. Keep up the great work.
