DeMint has dedicated his life in public service to defending the values that have made America great -- individual liberty, free markets and faith. He currently serves on the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, the Foreign Relations Committee and the Joint Economic Committee. DeMint has worked with President [[George W. Bush]] to pass tax relief measures, and he cast important votes to end the marriage penalty, repeal the [[death tax]], and increase the amount of money workers can contribute to retirement savings plans. In March of 2007, DeMint was ranked by ''National Journal'' as the most conservative United States Senator in their conservative/liberal rankings. In the [[2008 Presidential election]], he endorsed Republican [[Mitt Romney]], then supported the [[John McCain]] campaign.

Demint has been a leading conservative critic of [[President Obama]]'s policies, saying about his [[health care]] plan: "The last time the President made grand promises and demanded passage of a bill before it could be reviewed, we ended up with the colossal stimulus failure and unemployment near 10 percent", <ref>http://demint.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.Detail&PressRelease_id=99867a17-09e2-6f21-b777-8f3d2bac8879</ref> referring to the economic stimulus package.
