As a granddaughter daughter niece wife and sister of a veteran I have stood by veterans my entire life and will continue to ensure that they receive the benefits they have hard earned for their service to this great country. We must protect their access to affordable and quality healthcare and provide them with the resources needed to pursue educational opportunities and quality jobs and when they return home. So I remain committed to supporting legislation that protects veterans and their families."
