Issue Position: Veterans

Chris will always fight for our veterans and military families. He knows we owe it to our troops. With Carney's continuous support, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has received two record-breaking back-to-back funding bills.

By listening to the concerns of many veterans and military families from across our district, Chris knows the importance of getting another Veteran's health care facility closer to home. This would be located somewhere in the Snyder-Northumberland area. After working on this for the past year, Carney announced that a VA CBOC is in its final stages.

One of Chris's proudest moments as a Member of Congress was seeing education benefits for National Guard and Reservists become a reality. Because of his work, tens of thousands of Guardsmen and Reservists now have the opportunity to receive a college education. This will benefit more than 9,400 active duty and reserve troops from Pennsylvania who have been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan and selflessly served our nation.

Serving our veterans and military families is a top priority to Chris.
