Veterans

As the daughter of a veteran, I am committed to ensuring that our veterans are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, and that our government honors their service and sacrifices not just in words, but in deeds.

I believe we must honor our moral obligation to our veterans and returning soldiers by providing the health care, pensions and benefits that they deserve. I have consistently fought to make sure that veterans get the health care, disability benefits and spousal benefits they earned and has worked to eliminate the back log of disability and other benefit claims that plague the system today.

How My Office Can Help
