Our veterans have earned our respect and admiration. During the pandemic, the loss of so many veterans at the Holyoke Soldiers Home was a terrible tragedy; I have joined my colleagues to advocate for reforms and to fund improvements to the Soldiers’ Home. I will continue to fight for veterans’ benefits, and I am committed to supporting them with the help they need and deserve, including health care and mental health services, education, and housing assistance.
