Supporting veterans means protecting the benefits, healthcare, and opportunities they earned through service, while ensuring Arizona honors that commitment with real action. Veterans should never have to fight unnecessary barriers to access the care and support they deserve.

With more than 430,000 veterans living in Arizona, our state has a responsibility to strengthen services, expand opportunity, and protect the integrity of programs designed for those who served. Accountability matters, and public benefits meant for veterans must be protected for the men and women who earned them through sacrifice and service.

After 20 years of military service, I believe Arizona should do more to stand with veterans and their families by making sure their service is respected, their needs are met, and their contributions are valued.
