While she voted with the majority of the Senate in favor of the 2002 "[[Iraq War]] Resolution" authorizing President [[George W. Bush]] to go to war against Iraq, she cosponsored a non-binding resolution with three other liberal Republican Senators that showed the Senate's disapproval of the President's plan to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq in January 2007. Additionally, in the [[Obama administration]] she was one of only three Republicans to support the $787 billion [[economic stimulus package]], although she worked to reduce $100 billion from the package, along with [[Nebraska]] [[Democrat]] Senator [[Ben Nelson]].
