Issue Position: Veterans

Issue Position

As a veteran and a Member of the Defense and Veterans Affairs Committee, I am committed to helping Georgia's veterans and their families. I am a leader on veterans' issues at the General Assembly and have co-sponsored legislation to make it easier for veterans and their families to find work. I also co-sponsored and worked hard with a Republican colleague to help pass the Georgia Military Service and Integrity Act in 2016.

Outside of my official duties, I give a great deal of my personal time in service to veterans and their families in need. Since leaving active duty in 2004, I have provided pro bono legal representation to veterans and their family members. One of my cases lasted for more than four years but my client ultimately received what she deserved.

I feel a moral obligation to ensure that we take care of those who take such good care of us. As a member of the General Assembly, I will continue to fight for the dignity and welfare of Georgia's veterans.
