Jack Conway on Homeland Security |
He serves as the co-chair for the National Association of Attorneys General committee on veterans' affairs, and has used the resources of his office to protect veterans, servicemembers and their families.
When Conway was asked whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to serve openly in the military, he said "yes," without elaborating.
Paul's campaign spokesman said in an e-mail without elaboration, "Dr. Paul believes this is a matter that should be decided by the leadership of the military, not through political posturing."
Republicans in the US Senate this week stopped a repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" when Democrats attached an amendment seeking the repeal to a defense bill. Republicans said a Pentagon study on the impact of ending the policy should be completed before there is any move toward repeal.
The bill's comprehensive approach would deliver improved health care for rural veterans in a variety of ways. It would increase mental health care services, supply grants to service groups who improve veteran care, guarantee equal access for female soldiers, address homelessness among veterans, and authorize the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to develop research centers to discover how best to treat rural veterans.
"Our representatives in Washington have grown out of touch. Our leaders should never play political games when it comes to standing up for our veterans. I will always work to deliver legislation like this that protects our troops and shows our gratitude for those brave men and women who have sacrificed so much," stated Jack Conway.
