Issue Position: Veterans

Issue Position

America has always been a beacon of liberty and civil justice, supported by the strongest and finest military in the world. Our troops answer every call and make great sacrifices to protect our nation. I was raised in a military family and know the sacrifices our veterans and their families make for our country. That's why when I was elected to Congress, I immediately asked to sit on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee in order to serve the over 48,000 veterans who live in Ventura County. As Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Health, I have been working on issues important to our nation's servicemembers and veterans, including timely access to quality health care, improving the veterans' claims process, and making sure we hold the VA accountable for providing the care our veterans have earned and deserve.

I will continue the fight to make sure Ventura County's veterans and their families have access to the services they need, including quality health care, housing, job assistance, and education. For their service, we owe our veterans a solemn debt, and they must not be forgotten as they transition back into civilian life.

"Julia Brownley is an effective champion for veterans, and stands up to the Washington politicians and bureaucrats to fight for us." -- Johnny Lewis, disabled Gulf War veteran
