Veterans
Veterans have sacrificed so much for our nation and our community, and it is an honor to represent so many of these heroes across Central and Northwestern Illinois.
In return for their service, we must ensure our veterans receive the best care possible to treat injuries and ailments acquired during their time in duty. Veterans should never have their hard-earned benefits and care threatened by Washington politics.
I will always work to make sure our veterans’ needs are met, even long after they’ve hung up the uniform.
