Veterans

If elected to the U.S. Senate I will support keeping the promises made to our veterans.  Our government must live up to the commitments it has made to those who have sacrificed to protect our freedom.  The primary duty of the federal government is to protect our national defense.  I will work to ensure that our men and women in combat zones have the training and equipment necessary to complete their missions.

Additionally I support:

  • Providing pay raises for our military personnel
  • Increasing the force strength of our active duty military to increase time between deployments
  • Sufficiently funding veterans’ programs, including health care
  • Providing incentives for employers who hire returning veterans
  • Continuing to support educational benefits through the GI Bill for veterans and their families

If I am elected one of my top priorities will be providing top-notch constituent services to veterans and their families who need assistance with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs or the Department of Defense.
