Ensure Veterans’ choice in health care while preserving and improving the role of the VA.

While strides have been made in veterans’ healthcare choices, we must improve the program so they can efficiently obtain care if no VA facility is within a reasonable distance. Learn more
Make military families more financially stable. It is a sad reality that many military families struggle to make ends meet. In Congress, I will fight to get service-members a raise, support programs that help returning veterans get jobs and start businesses, and I will fight against any measures to make their health care benefits more expensive.
