As the son of a veteran, David was raised with a deep and abiding love and respect for our nation's veterans and their service and sacrifice.
When he was elected to the Legislature he asked to be on the Military Affairs & Public Safety (MAPS) Committee and eventually served as Chairman. While on the committee he spearheaded several important bills including the establishment of a new veteran's cemetery in Southern Arizona.
In recognition of his service to veterans, David has been awarded the Copper Shield Award, the top honor given to a civilian by Arizona's veterans community.
As our Congressman, David will continue to make veterans a priority, work to reform the VA, allow veterans to seek quality medical care wherever is most convenient for them, and ensure that their sacrifice is never forgotten.
