Those who put their lives on the line in our armed services have earned the support of both state and federal government for health care, educational and job training opportunities, housing and benefit assistance.

Buckley Air Force Base is within District 36 and is a major employer within Aurora. More than 10,000 people work at Buckley and many tens of thousands of Buckley retirees live in the Aurora area. Buckley's economic contribution to the local economy was more than $800 million in 2014.

I support programs like Colorado's Military Family Relief Fund, which offers financial assistance to families of service members suffering financial hardship (learn more about the Military Family Relief Fund here: http://www.checkoffcolorado.com/funds/militaryFamily.php).
