-Our military personnel and their families are important to our country, to our democracy--and to our community. We owe a great debt to the women and men who have served in our military; their sacrifices must not be forgotten. I was born in a military hospital and grew up in a career military family.I understand the needs of military personnel and their families.
-Across Montana we have more veterans than most states and it is important that we make sure that they are provided timely and effective services, including healthcare, quality mental health services, education and job training, meaningful employment, and small business assistance. In Columbia Falls we are proud to be home to the Montana Veterans' Home, which I will work hard to support.
