Issue Position: Veterans, Seniors, & Others with Special Needs

Issue Position

To those who have served our nation and spent their lives working in Kentucky, Al Gentry is proud to represent and be a strong a voice in the General Assembly. He will continue the fight for access to good health care, to end homelessness among veterans and to provide the resources needed for mental health treatment.

Kentucky has put forth strong measures to support returning veterans with respect to job opportunities. Al Gentry will work to strengthen veterans' care and increase access to support services.

Many of Kentucky's seniors are struggling under the rising costs of prescription drugs and the cost of goods without receiving increases in their Social Security benefits. Al Gentry will be an advocate for Kentucky's seniors, fighting for protections and working to implement policies that will provide relief with health care costs.

IMG_6869As a leader of people with disabilities, and being extremely productive despite having a physical disability himself, Al believes in helping to provide adequate care for those that cannot work, and putting to work those that CAN. Al supports programs geared to increase self-sustainability, and self-pride, including special incentives for businesses that hire veterans, people with permanent, but partial disabilities, and people enrolled in government assistance programs. Al will be a voice for those that often feel they don't have one, and inspire the fallen to "get back up, fulfill personal ambitions, and Never Quit!"
