As a veteran myself, I have worked tirelessly to meet and connect Veterans to the resources and information available to them. I strongly believe that no one who has made the incredible sacrifice to serve his or her country should be without the resources they need to live and survive when they return home. In Tallahassee, I will continue to ensure that the veterans in District 97 are getting the information they need to help them use and apply for their benefits.
