Veterans Issues
As a 14 year veteran of the Air Force, and with four brothers and a father who also served in the Armed Forces, I am proud to represent the veterans living within Utah’s second district. The service these men and women provide deserves recognition and support. I’ve always said that the military is the best laboratory for leadership. These brave Americans don’t stop serving their country when they leave the military – they continue to serve throughout their communities. I remain committed to fulfilling all the promises the government has made to them upon entering the service.
