Veterans
Our country owes a debt of gratitude to our nation’s bravest individuals – those who have served and dedicated their lives in defense of freedom and liberty. We must remember the sacrifices of our veterans who have bravely served our nation, as well as their families, and I am committed to providing the best care possible for them.
As your Representative in Congress, I am proud to fight for our nation’s veterans because they deserve the highest quality medical care and an efficient delivery of benefits and services. I have been and will remain a steadfast supporter in cutting red tape and allowing our veterans better access to the health care and other services they need. We have a responsibility to protect those who protected us, and I will never stop making our nation’s heroes a priority.
