Coming from a military family, veterans issues hit particularly close to home. For the last eight years as Congressman Yoho's Deputy Chief of Staff, we've worked every kind of case you can imagine under the VA. Through that experience, I have learned the shortcomings of the system, but more importantly how to fix them. Our veterans deserve the best that we have to offer, but this just isn't happening with the current structure. Together, we have brought 4 new VA clinics to our district, recovered lost medals for veterans serving all the way back to WWI, recovered retroactive benefits for veterans, helped the appeals process and so much more. We must ensure that the men and women who wore the uniform are given the respect that they have earned and the tools that they need to succeed when they return home. That means access to the highest quality of healthcare, education opportunities, and support services, no matter the cost.
