Issue Position: Siding with Our Troops and Veterans

Issue Position

Sheldon believes our troops deserve a strategy worthy of their sacrifice, and he kept his promise to put pressure on President Bush to bring our troops home from Iraq. And he knows that when our troops have served unhesitatingly in the field, they shouldn't have to face the threat of foreclosure when they come home. When banks continued to illegally foreclose on active duty military families, Sheldon introduced legislation to significantly raise the penalty on any bank that foreclosed on families with a servicemember on active duty. He has also co-sponsored legislation that creates a benefit for employers who hire veterans.
