Issue Position: Helping Our Veterans

Issue Position

More than 130,000 veterans call Orange County home. Sharon Quirk-Silva thinks they ought to have a National Veterans Cemetery close to home. So she authored AB 1453 which requires one to be built right here in Orange County. As the former chair of the Assembly Veterans Committee, Sharon Quirk-Silva also authored legislation to make sure the state honors its commitment to the men and women who fight in uniform, including making sure they are not unfairly denied in-state tuition and preference in state hiring.
