Issue Position: Supporting America's Best Our Veterans and Our Seniors

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2014
Issues: Senior Citizens Military Personnel Veterans

America's best are those men and women who put themselves in harm's way in order to protect us. Now we have to make sure that we do our part.

With so many returning from service in Iraq and Afghanistan we need to make sure that they have the support they need here at home.

As your Senator, I've been pleased to support measures granting in-state tuition to Veterans, giving small businesses a special tax credit for hiring Veterans, and supporting health and psychological programs for those suffering from PTSD. I've also gone out of my way to hire Vets to work for me.

Seniors:

As your Senator, I've been pleased to help pass measures to crack down on scam artists targeting Seniors, to help protect nursing home care for those in need, and to offer job retraining programs for those Seniors who want to gain new skills or re-enter the labor market.
