As a Marine Mom, Claudia is a particularly strong advocate for all veterans who have answered the call to serve and have sacrificed everything, which is necessary to preserve the freedom and individual rights guaranteed by our great nation. As a member of the New York Assembly Veterans Committee, she has sponsored a number of bills aimed to benefit and support both active duty and retired veterans. In Washington, she will be a champion for those who risk their lives to protect ours and will work tirelessly to ensure the Veteran's Administration is fixed so our sons and daughters receive proper and timely healthcare services they were promised upon returning from combat.
