There are many veterans that live in our district and their issues are important to me and to my work in Congress.
I am proud to have served my country in the United States Air Force, and I have tremendous respect for America’s military men and women who have consistently served our country with honor and valor. The freedoms and liberties that we enjoy today are a result of the sacrifice our veterans have made to this country.
Beyond our respect and appreciation, America’s veterans have earned and deserve to be taken care of by their country—it is the least we can do. Health care, education, and work opportunities for our veterans need to not simply be maintained but improved. I am proud to sit on the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs to proactively work to ensure that all veterans’ needs are met.
