In her four terms, Chairwoman Elise has delivered real results for her community. Her Bipartisan effort have led to jobs, better health care, veterans benefits, and protections for our rights.
This Congress, I introduced a bipartisan bill to take action for the family of World War II veteran Ernest Peltz. This legislation helps veteran families overcome bureaucratic hurdles at the VA and secure accrued pension benefits for an ailing or recently passed veterans. I will always support veteran families.
NY-21 is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the nation. My office has proudly recovered $5.4 million for NY-21 veterans. Those who selflessly served should not face bureaucratic failures at the VA, and I will continue to secure critical benefits for our brave veterans.
Elise brought President Trump to Fort Drum to sign our national defense bill, which she helped write and pass, that included the largest pay raise for our troops in a decade. Elise has always supported and stood up for our troops and to serve them in Congress.
Elise led the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act, which President Trump signed into law, to provide benefits to our Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange. Elise will always fight to protect the brave veterans who have sacrificed for our great nation.
Elise worked hard to secure Fort Drum as the Department of Defense’s preferred site for a future East Coast Missile Defense System. This project would improve our defense readiness and bring thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to the North Country.
Elise helped pass important bipartisan legislation that allows the VA to remove employees for poor performance or misconduct, adds protections for whistleblowers, and increases accountability measures for all VA employees and executives.
