"Debbie Stabenow has accomplished much during the first half of her Senate term. She deserves a well-done salute for her accomplishments in the U.S. Senate."

"The busy Senator has earned the respect of her colleagues in Washington - both Democrats and Republicans. The people of Michigan and the United States have been the beneficiaries of her good work during the short time she has served as a U.S. Senator."

"In just three years on Capitol Hill, Stabenow has been recognized as a national leader in the fight for better health care and cheaper prescription drugs for senior citizens."

"The Michigan Democrat warrants a salute for staying the course and keeping important campaign promises made to the people of Michigan."

"(Stabenow) has gained a lot of publicity and constituent support for her ongoing efforts to lower prescription drug costs."

"Michigan U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow has a lock on the third-highest Democratic job in the Senate, a post she said she'll use to press Michigan's case in Congress."

"'It must have been the camaraderie that (Stabenow) has built up with her peers and colleagues that has won her this job,' said Craig Ruff, vice president of Public Sector Consultants."
