Veterans
Pat is fully committed to making sure our soldiers and our veterans always come first. Our veterans and soldiers risk their lives to keep our country safe and protect our freedom; they deserve the best in return. When Pat was in Congress, he voted to make sure our veterans and their families had the resources and services they needed, including educational, counseling, and employment aid. As your senator, Pat will commit all the resources needed to provide the personnel, training, intelligence, and equipment required to support the missions necessary to protecting our national security and our soldiers’ safety. He will dedicate the same level of priority and support to the families of our volunteer active regulars and citizen soldiers.
Pat will make passing the Military Voting Protection Act a priority in the U.S. Senate. This legislation will make sure our soldiers’ votes are counted in our elections. Right now, many soldiers stationed overseas have trouble requesting absentee ballots, and have trouble submitting those ballots on time. The Military Voting Protection Act will require the Department of Defense to lay out clear procedures for making sure our soldiers’ votes are counted.
America is the greatest country in the world and we will continue to be great if we remember that our strength and security come from our soldiers who fight to preserve our freedom.
