Our veterans put their lives on the line for this country, and too often they come home to face new battles — finding housing, health care, and good jobs. We owe our veterans more than words of gratitude; we owe them honor, dignity, opportunity, and unwavering support.

This issue is personal to me. My father proudly served as a U.S. Marine, and I grew up understanding the sacrifices military families make — not just during service, but long after the uniform comes off.

I will fight to ensure every veteran and military family has access to quality health care, affordable housing, and career opportunities that match their skills and service. Those who served our nation should never have to struggle to build a stable life when they return home.
