Our military and our veterans are a vital part of our society. I will promote greater participation in our armed services. The VA should be state of the art, streamlined, and serve as the model of public benefits for all public service agencies. Our veterans, wounded both physically and mentally, deserve the best and we will give it to them. Learn more
The recurring flooding of our rivers and coastal areas demands protective solutions from our Army Corps of Engineers. I back the expansion and accelerated access to funding for these projects.

A major infrastructure bill is required with a commitment to produce 22nd century standards of safety and efficiency, creating a shining example of modern transport. Learn more
