My father served our country for 20 years in the U.S. Navy. Growing up in a military family, I learned the importance of duty and honor. I am constantly in awe of the brave men and women we have serving in our armed forces. As your representative in Congress, I will do everything in my power to honor those who serve and provide the resources desperately needed to our veteran community. From basic healthcare to complex issues surrounding mental health, we must do everything possible to help those who put their lives in danger to protect our great country.
