Office of U.S. Rep. McSally Announces Wounded Warrior Fellowship

Press Release

The office of U.S. Representative Martha McSally today announced it is accepting submissions from veterans who qualify as wounded warriors for a fellowship position to be based in either the Tucson or Sierra Vista District Office. The fellow would work with military and veteran constituents to handle veterans-related casework and act as a facilitator between constituents and federal, state, and local agencies.

"We make a covenant with our veterans that we will care for them when they return, and making sure we honor that commitment is one of my highest priorities," said Rep. McSally. "That's why I'm pleased to be working with the House of Representatives to help make sure veterans and military personnel living in Southern Arizona have access to our federal government and the care and services they have earned."

The Wounded Warrior Fellowship Program was established by the House of Representatives to provide employment opportunities for wounded or disabled veterans within Member or Committee offices. The program is limited to veterans who have served on active duty since September 11, 2001, with less than 20 years of service and have a minimum 30% disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Interested veterans should submit a resume, copy of the last DD214 issued, and a letter from the VA indicating a 30% or greater rating (not necessary if medically retired) to housewoundedwarriors@mail.house.gov.
