Pingree Looking for "Wounded Warrior" to Join Portland Office

Statement

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree said today that she's seeking a veteran to fill a key role in her Portland office. Pingree's office was selected to be part of the Congressional Wounded Warrior Program, which provides two-year, paid, full-time fellowships for veterans who have served at some point since 9/11 and have a minimum 30% service-connected disability. Pingree says the veteran will be responsible for constituent services and outreach to the veteran community.

"This is a great opportunity for a veteran to become an important part of our office," Pingree said. "I know whoever we bring on board through the Wounded Warrior program will be a huge asset to our office and to the community. This new staff person will be helping their fellow veterans here in Maine navigate the VA and other government agencies and will help me stay in touch with veterans groups andissues around the state. I'm honored that the Wounded Warrior Program has chosen to award our office this fellowship."

All applications are processed through the Chief Administrator of the U.S. House of Representatives, and interested veterans should visit www.cao.house.gov for more information.
