Issue Position: Veterans & Military

Issue Position

Cory values our veterans and active duty members of the military and will always put their needs first. He has supported pay raises for our troops and his work with Colorado veterans has delivered tangible results for families across the state. Cory even worked with the Department of Defense to secure a posthumous medal for a World War II veteran and helps veterans receive the VA benefits and care they deserve.

When the Aurora VA hospital was delayed and over budget, Cory worked with his colleagues to secure continued funding needed to finish the project. He has also worked with whistleblowers to investigate unofficial waitlists at Colorado VA facilities, held the VA accountable when the Department failed to pay GI benefits to Colorado student veterans, and spearheaded the effort to eliminate the 30 day/ 40 mile rule in the CHOICE Program so veterans can receive the care they deserve regardless of where they live.
