Veterans

As the proud son of a WWII B-17 bombardier, I am inspired and awestruck by the service of our men and women in uniform. These brave patriots who defend our Constitution, values, and freedoms deserve the very best in healthcare, education, and financial assistance. We owe them each a debt of gratitude for their sacrifice and should ensure we are always doing everything we can to support them, including reforming our Department of Veterans Affairs. They deserve nothing less.

During my time in Congress, I have voted for pay increases for the military, bonuses for service members, and made permanent a temporary program to pay military widows and widowers. I have also co-sponsored legislation to issue grants assisting veterans pursuing higher education, housing stipends for individuals affected by extended school closures due to natural disasters, and for the VA to provide in-patient psychiatric care for certain veterans. I remain committed to working tirelessly on behalf of our veterans who risked their lives to keep us safe.
