Issue Position: Veterans

Issue Position

Idaho is humbly indebted to our veterans. It is they who preserve, (often at immense sacrifice), our nation's freedom. We are obligated to respect their extraordinary valor; therefore we shall forever honor our sacred trust with and to Idaho's veterans. The provision of equitable pay to our men and women on active duty, healthcare, education, rehabilitation, pension, compensation and other benefits to veterans are part of America's sacred trust. As Governor, I will vigorously resist any attempt by any government agency to nullify or reduce earned benefits to Idaho veterans and their survivors. Idaho's trust shall not be breached. I encourage Idaho employers to hire our returning heroes as they have proven to be men and women of valor.
