congressman Lou Correa is a longtime Orange County resident, with deep local roots. To this day, he lives only three miles from his childhood neighborhood in Anaheim. He is the son of working-class parents whose hard work gave him a chance at success. Lou has spent his career fighting to protect the American Dream, and ensure anyone can reach the middle class, just as he did.
When Lou was young, his mother cleaned hotel rooms across from Disneyland, and his father held a manufacturing job at a paper mill. Through hard work, Lou’s parents gave him access to better education than they had, and a path to the middle class.
Congressman Correa served our nation’s veterans on the House Veterans Affairs Committee. He is proud of the bipartisan work he and his colleagues have done to protect our nation’s veterans. Congressman Correa supported new funding for the Veterans’ Choice Act and supported the new GI Bill, which will allow a new generation of veterans to seek higher education. Congressman Correa is leading the way on medical marijuana for veterans. Medical marijuana helps veterans suffering from PTSD, and Congressman Correa believes our veterans deserve every treatment.
