As a fellow veteran, I am dedicated to enhancing the lives of our community's heroes. My plans to boost veteran services and ensure affordable housing in San Antonio reflect our shared values.

When we send people to serve, we must keep our promises when they come home. Veterans and military families deserve real support, not excuses.

Congress must do more to prevent veteran suicide and reduce veteran homelessness by ensuring the VA and partner programs have the staffing, equipment, and mental health resources veterans need. That includes timely access to care, strong transition support, and accountability when the system fails.

I know our obligation does not end when the uniform comes off. I will fight to make sure veterans and military families are treated with the dignity, care, and respect they have earned.
