Bob Stefanowski:
Encourage the hiring of Veterans and their spouses
Veterans have developed skills that are needed in both the private sector and the government. Partnering with businesses and state agencies, my administration will make sure that Connecticut's brightest military leaders become our smartest CEOs,
job creators, and innovators. My administration will also work with the private sector to encourage the hiring of Veterans and their spouses - who are often discriminated against in the job market due to multiple moves and gaps in employment.

Doug Gansler:
Expand programs and housing for homeless veterans
Homelessness does not discriminate. But veterans face some unique challenges when it comes to finding safe and affordable housing. Returning from deployments abroad, they often confront the invisible wounds of war that directly correlate with
homelessness. If we are ever going to eradicate veteran homelessness, we must expand programs and housing supervised by the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs.
We must make better efforts to connect our veterans with training, employment opportunities and all of the resources that Maryland can offer. We must help disabled veterans get hired, including through employer tax subsidies for disabled veterans.
We will make it easier for veterans to put their talent to work by supporting veteran-owned small businesses and enacting hiring incentives for returning veterans.
