Veterans represent the best our nation has to offer. The brave men and women who served honorably in our Armed Forces have preserved the United States’ role as the leader of the free world. Giving support and care to those who have fought to protect us is vital.
I understand how critical it is for veterans to receive the best possible benefits and care from the Department of Veterans Affairs. I am working to safeguard the well-being of veterans and their family members throughout my time in office.
