A Promise to Our Veterans
I am angry—and you should be too!

Regardless of whether you or your family members have served as one of our bravest, the men and women who volunteered to put their lives on the line and their families who carry the burden of worry need help NOW.

This is not something we can afford to wait for. The time to act is now.

These veterans, the bravest of the brave, deserve to be cared for from the end of their service to their passing.

THIS CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL I AM THERE IN HARRISBURG FIGHTING FOR MEANINGFUL CHANGES AND POLICIES that ensure these Pennsylvanians are treated with the respect they deserve.

Every day, veterans across Pennsylvania struggle to access medical care, mental health support, and home health care. The bureaucracy is a nightmare, the delays are unacceptable, and the cuts to services are a betrayal of their sacrifice. Washington has failed them. We cannot wait any longer—we must take action in Pennsylvania.

**I CHALLENGE OUR CURRENT STATE SENATOR TO STEP UP AND FIGHT FOR OUR VETERANS RIGHT NOW.**

Because I know it will be the first fight I take on as your State Senator. I will take it on with the gratitude that each service member deserves.

THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE. It is a human rights issue for those who actually fought for those rights.

My Grandfather’s Legacy: A Hero’s Story

My grandfather, Edward, was a replacement soldier in the 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, who arrived in Europe not long after D-Day. He fought in some of the most pivotal battles of World War II, including the Battle of the Bulge. He was wounded just after entering Germany, and his bravery saved countless lives. After his service, he returned home to lead a full life—but the scars of war never left him.

For over 75 years, my grandfather lived with the invisible wounds of war—what we now call PTSD. A loud noise, fireworks, or even a simple clap of hands would send him into a panic. But his strength and resilience were unmatched. He taught me empathy, compassion, and the importance of caring for others, no matter their background or history.

As he reached his 96th year, my family and I faced a new battle—ensuring he received the home healthcare he needed to live out his final days with dignity in the home where he was born. Despite his eligibility for the state’s nursing home diversion program, we faced roadblocks at every turn. The state approved only 25 hours of care per week, and the VA provided an additional 10 hours. This left my mother and uncle, both seniors themselves, to cover the rest.
I entered the fight! I would bring the fight to the state.

After a little over a year of fighting for him, I finally succeeded in securing 24 hours of care just three months before his passing. But no family should have to endure this struggle—especially the families of our veterans.

I promised my grandfather that he would die with dignity in the place he loved most. He was born in the same room that he died. A PROMISE KEPT TO HIM!

I’m here to continue that promise—not just for my grandfather, but for every veteran who has given everything for us.

The Fight for Our Veterans Starts Now

The current system fails our veterans at every turn. Home healthcare is hard to come by, and the benefits promised to them are often delayed or denied. This is not just an issue—it’s a failure of our duty as citizens to care for those who fought to protect our freedom.

That’s why, as your State Senator, I will prioritize the following:

100% Coverage for Home Healthcare: I will fight for legislation that guarantees every combat veteran—regardless of where or when they served—receives 100% coverage for their home healthcare needs, including medical, mental health, and other essential services.

Streamlined Benefits: I will push for a system that cuts through the red tape and ensures that veterans and their families receive the support they deserve without unnecessary delays or financial hardship.

No Veteran Left Behind: Whether they served in combat or not, every veteran should have access to the full spectrum of services they need to thrive. I will work across party lines to create a comprehensive care system for all veterans, ensuring that no one is left behind.

A Call to Action: It’s Time to Fight for Our Veterans

We can no longer wait for Washington to take action. The chaos in Washington DC will only make this worse. The federal government’s failure to adequately support our veterans through cuts to the Veterans Administration means that Pennsylvania must lead the way in providing for those who have already given so much.

I’m ready to fight for the brave men and women who have fought for us.

This isn’t a political issue—it’s a human rights issue.

It’s time we honor their service by ensuring they receive the care they deserve, now and in the future.

HELP me in this fight. Together, we can make sure that every veteran in Pennsylvania is given the dignity and care they’ve earned.
