Veterans First: A Mission That Never Ends
They Fought for Us. Now We Fight for Them
The men and women who serve in our armed forces — and those who have served before them — deserve more than a thank-you. They deserve action. They deserve respect. And they deserve a government that honors their sacrifice every single day, not just on Veterans Day.
As your U.S. Senator, I will stand up for our active-duty military, veterans, and their families with everything I’ve got. That means better pay, better care, and better opportunities — from the moment they take the oath, to long after they’ve hung up the uniform.
Our military service members protect our freedom — I’ll fight to protect their dignity, their future, and their rightful place at the front of the line when it comes to healthcare, housing, education, and opportunity.
Because when you serve this country, this country should serve you back — fully, honorably, and without delay
Military & Veterans: Honor in Action
Support That Goes Beyond Slogans
California is home to more veterans and military families than any other state — and they deserve more than empty promises. As your U.S. Senator, I will fight every single day to ensure our service members and veterans are treated with the respect, support, and dignity they've earned.
For Our Veterans: We Keep Our Promises
Veterans should never have to fight for care after fighting for our country. I will champion policies that ensure they get everything they were promised — without delay, denial, or red tape.
My plan includes:
- Expanding VA healthcare access, especially mental health, PTSD, and suicide prevention services.
- Cutting wait times by modernizing the VA and holding it accountable.
- Increasing disability and pension benefits to match today’s cost of living.
- Fighting veteran homelessness through housing assistance, job training, and wraparound services.
- Protecting and expanding the Post-9/11 GI Bill so veterans and their families can thrive through education and opportunity.
For Our Active-Duty Military: We Have Your Back
Our armed forces deserve more than a thank-you. They deserve a nation that invests in them.
As Senator, I will:
- Fight for higher base pay and benefits for enlisted troops and junior officers.
- Secure funding to improve housing, child care, and healthcare access for military families.
- Ensure military women and minority service members are protected from abuse and discrimination — and treated with full equality.
- Support modern, mission-ready bases like Pendleton, Travis AFB, and San Diego with cutting-edge infrastructure.
For California’s Military Communities: Build and Rebuild
California’s military hubs drive local economies, innovation, and resilience. I’ll bring federal dollars back to:
- Invest in communities surrounding military bases, improving schools, roads, and access to healthcare.
- Expand programs for military spouse employment, child care, and housing assistance.
- Launch federal transition programs to help service members reenter civilian life with dignity and opportunity.
“We honor our veterans and active service members not just with words — but with action. That’s my promise. I will be the strongest voice in Washington for every Californian who has worn the uniform. The mission doesn’t end when they come home — and neither will my fight for them.”
