Veterans

America’s veterans have sacrificed so much for our country; it’s critical we work every day to recognize their service and uphold our promise to have their backs in return. During my time in Congress, I’ve met with countless veterans across New Jersey, and I’m dedicated to supporting and honoring them. I’m proud that my office has been able to help hundreds of veterans get the benefits they have earned and deserve.

During my time in Congress, I’m proud to have:

  • Voted to pass the largest healthcare and benefits expansion in VA history - the Honoring Our PACT Act - into law, which will ensure all veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange and other toxic chemicals during their service have access to the care and benefits they need and deserve;
  • Helped secure a new, state-of-the-art Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Toms River;
  • Led the effort to nearly double funding for veteran suicide prevention outreach programs;
  • Introduced legislation to honor the legendary all-Black Buffalo soldier regiments that have served throughout American history;
  • Worked to protect veterans from VA overpayment errors;
  • Authored legislation to ensure state-run veteran cemeteries have the resources they need;
  • Led the effort to give more veteran-owned businesses the opportunity to compete for work on federal transportation projects; and
  • Named the New Jersey Veteran of Foreign Wars (VFW) Legislator of the Year and received the State of New Jersey Civilian Meritorious Service Award for my service on behalf of servicemembers, the more than 350,000 veterans across New Jersey, and military families.
