Joe Biden's Notable Achievements

Foreign Policy Leader

After three decades of service on the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, Joe Biden was elected Chairman in January of 2006 and immediately began holding high-profile hearings on Iraq, and has since been the leading voice in crafting Democratic foreign policy.

Landmark Legislation

Joe believes violence against women is the ugliest and cruelest crime there is. In 1994, he authored the landmark legislation that helped set up shelters and a national hotline where women who are abused by husbands or boyfriends can get help. It also increased the court system’s abilities to protect women who are being stalked.

Results: The legislation has given hundreds of thousands of women a second chance and a way out. Since it passed, both domestic violence and incidents of rape are significantly down nationwide. To this day, this organization has brought more than $10 million worth of aid to victims and their families in Delaware.

For two decades, Joe Biden has been instrumental in crafting almost every major crime law. In 1994, the Biden Crime Law put more than 100,000 cops on America’s streets, and crime went down eight years in a row. The law requires communities to be notified when convicted sex offenders move into a neighborhood.

After President Bush slashed billions of dollars from federal crime-prevention assistance for state and local law enforcement, crime started going up again. In October of 2007, Senator Biden introduced the 2007 Biden Crime Bill, which will add 50,000 new local cops and 1,000 FBI agents to focus on local crimes.
