Debbie Wasserman Schultz-Millions more veterans can now get health care thanks to the PACT Act. Yet Trump & Republicans cruelly choke access with firings, layoffs and killed contracts. This neglectful treatment of those who proudly served is despicable.

Jonathan Martin-Providing due process means a jury makes factual findings in order to permanently revoke someone’s constitutional rights. Jury trials with publicly provided lawyers as an option must be the bare minimum before permanently banning gun ownership.

Danny Burgess-I believe it is our duty to serve those who have served our country. SB 116 will expand support services for our veterans and their families, including mental health training so we can more easily identify those who are struggling and adult day-time care opportunities to provide a better quality of life. This bill will go a long way toward meeting the needs of our veterans and showing our appreciation for their service.
