Veterans
America’s veterans have sacrificed so much for our country; it’s critical we work every day to recognize their service and give them every opportunity we can. During my time in Congress, I’ve met with countless veterans across Burlington and Ocean Counties, and I’m dedicated to supporting and honoring our veterans. I’m proud that my office has been able to help hundreds of veterans get the benefits they have earned and deserve.
After years of work to hold the VA accountable for delivering a veterans’ health facility to Ocean County, I was proud to help secure a new, state-of-the-art Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Toms River.
During my time in Congress, I have also:
- Led the effort to nearly double funding for veteran suicide prevention outreach programs;
- Introduced legislation to honor the legendary all-Black Buffalo soldier regiments that have served throughout American history;
- Passed a bill through the House honoring Gold Star Families;
- Worked to protect veterans from VA overpayment errors;
- Authored legislation to ensure state-run veteran cemeteries have the resources they need; and
- Led the effort to give more veteran-owned businesses the opportunity to compete for work on federal transportation projects.
