Joe Biden's Impressive Track Record

     Joe Biden has dedicated his entire life to public service, and his track record speaks for itself. 

     A graduate of Syracuse University in 1969, he began practicing law and was elected to the New Castle County Council in 1970. In 1972, he became the sixth-youngest senator in American history, and, by the time he left office in 2009, was the fourth-oldest. While a senator, he chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, led efforts to pass the Violent Crime Control And Law Enforcement Act and the Violence Against Women Act, introduced the first climate change legislation, and launched presidential campaigns in 1988 and 2008.

     From 2009 to 2017 he served as Obama's vice president in an administration that legalized gay marriage, normalized relations with Cuba, provided affordable healthcare to 25 million people, pulled America out of a recession and passed reforms to prevent another, created more protected wilderness area than any other in history, committed to fight climate change, ended the Iraq War, and severely damaged al Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist groups.

     Now, as the 2020 Democratic nominee, he wishes to launch major reforms to the criminal justice system, abolish the death penalty, raise the minimum wage, phase out fossil fuels, lower drug costs and taxes on the middle class, and more.
