2014 Pennsylvania Governor's race: on Homeland Security

Tom Wolf: More services for veterans: education, jobs, & housing

Tom Wolf knows that our Commonwealth needs to keep its commitment to our veterans, national guardsmen, army reservists, members of our armed forces, and their families who deserve our respect, as well as the benefits, assistance, and dignity to which they are more than entitled. As governor, Tom Wolf will promote policies to ease the transition to civilian life, support their health and well-being, and be a vocal advocate for our National Guard. Specifically, he will:

Improve access to higher education for veterans: In addition to granting in-state tuition rates to all veterans, Tom Wolf will also identify existing funding to offer tuition grants for veterans who major in sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
Help veterans transition military skills to civilian jobs
Strengthen commitment to directing state contracts to veteran-owned businesses
Address housing needs: including helping homeless veterans & providing assistance to first time home buyers.
