Issue Position: Our Military and Veterans

Issue Position

Military readiness is the acquisition of the right people, with the right leader, right equipment, and right training. Currently, under the adroit leadership of Secretary James Mattis, the United States military is actively addressing its acquisitions failures. It's time government moves at the speed of business, which is the speed of now.

The men and women who serve in our armed forces are the greatest among us. Every effort must be made to give them the very best equipment when they fight, the best possible pay and benefits, a secure, well-equipped home base on which to train, and the essential services they deserve as veterans once their duty ends. Not one dollar of foreign U.S. aid or assistance should be offered or awarded until every dollar owed to every veteran is paid.

Having worn the uniform for 20 years, and now having a son in the Army, no one will fight for our veterans more than I will. I have championed legislation to help our veterans in the State Senate, and will continue fighting for them if elected to Congress.
