Prioritize the well-being of our service members & veterans

other services, increasing economic opportunity, and honoring our veterans. Mooney cosponsored H.R. 577, which will allow veterans living more than 40 miles from the nearest VA facility to obtain quality healthcare at local facilities.

Committed to investing in our men and women in uniform

in our men and women in uniform so that we can maintain our military dominance and protect the American people. Jim will always fight for a national security policy that puts America first.

Katie Porter:
Voted against defense budget higher than what was requested
I cannot support a defense bill that authorizes spending $45 billion more than even what our commander-in-chief thinks is necessary to keep us safe. As a champion for oversight, I'm concerned that these taxpayer dollars will be wasted lining the pockets
of big defense contractors. Having recently returned from the Middle East, where I spoke directly with troops and commanders, I reject the false claim that tens of billions of extra tax dollars are needed for the sake of national security.

Tim Sheehy:
Government must stop overlooking our veteran community
As a veteran and founder of Bridger Aerospace, I have made a commitment to hire hundreds of Montana veterans and put their skill set and experience to work in our mission to fight wildfires and protect our public lands and our communities.
The federal government must stop overlooking our veteran community. Montana veterans will have no bigger advocate for them than by electing a fellow veteran to fight for them and fulfill the promise our nation made to them.

Tim Sheehy:
We need to fund our military and stand strong against China
The politicians in Washington are more concerned with their political careers than securing America's future. They've empowered our adversaries like China, opened our borders, shut down American energy production, and created economic uncertainty.
We need to fund our military and stand strong against China, secure our southern border, and once again, make America energy dominant and independent.

Frank LaRose:
Underfunding military is biggest threat to national security
Frank knows first-hand that freedom isn't free, and a strong national defense is essential to protecting democracy--both at home and around the world. For nearly 20 years, Sherrod Brown has worked to undermine and underfund our military, and he's been a
staunch supporter of the Biden Administration's foreign policy failures. No one knows better than Frank LaRose that our biggest threat to national security is under-funding our military. Brown has consistently voted to cut funding for troops.

Steve Garvey:
Modernize our military; achieve peace through strength
A strong United States means a safer world. With emerging threats around the globe, it's more important than ever for the United States to renew our commitment to our alliances and our role in global leadership.
We must invest in modernizing our military and achieve peace through strength.
It's important that we work close with our allies and be prepared for the threats of tomorrow while actively positioning ourselves to counter the expansion of hostile foreign powers.
More than anything, in order for us to be strong abroad, we must be strong at home. We need leaders in Washington who will make level-headed decisions in the face of a rapidly changing and dangerous world.

Recognizing and honoring the service and sacrifices of our active military and veterans is not only a moral obligation but a national imperative. This entails an unwavering commitment to safeguarding their health, ensuring their safety,

11 military bases, all of which provide essential resources, personnel, and support to all branches of the military. As a Senator, Angela will be a vocal advocate for securing the funding and support necessary to sustain these critical installations.

We need a strong military to keep pace with foreign threats
The four levers of national power are Diplomacy, Information, Military and Economy (DIME). . The Biden administration has been feckless in all aspects of DIME and now we need a strong military to keep pace with countries that could threaten our
national security. That means developing new technologies in order to remain competitive.

I will fight for improved access to healthcare for all veterans, ensuring that our V.A. facilities not only meet but exceed the needs of our heroes. Beyond healthcare, our veterans deserve robust support as they reintegrate into civilian life, including
job training programs, educational opportunities, and community support systems that recognize and respect their unique contributions to our country and our commonwealth. We owe them a debt of gratitude.

Supporting our military means supporting military families
American Veterans represent the very best of our nation. We will never be able to fully repay the debt owed to these brave men and women. Properly supporting our military means supporting military families. I will be a voracious advocate for veterans
and their families. I will always stand up and support America's warriors after their service. This requires providing resources veterans need to successfully transition back to civilian life with high-quality jobs, education, and medical care.

Dan Osborn:
We must pay servicemen and women a competitive wage
As of October 10, 2023, more than 300,000 VA claims have been backlogged for more than 125 days. Our politicians claim to support veterans; clearly, it's little more than lip service. I'll fully fund the VA to clear out this backlog and ensure claims
are processed in a timely manner. I will also support comprehensive job placement and job training for veterans. Those who serve our country should not be left behind when they return home.
Sometimes it seems the military overpays for everything--except soldiers. From forty dollar hammers that cost ten bucks at the hardware store, to $10,000 switches that cost a couple hundred dollars to manufacture, price gouging is draining our military
of the resources to defend this country. Meanwhile, military families struggle to put food on the table. We must pay servicemen and women a competitive wage. Military families are on food stamps, and we wonder why there's a recruitment crisis.

John Deaton:
Expand Veterans Choice Program to outside the VA
Having served in the U.S. Marine Corps, I understand the personal sacrifice that our men and women in uniform--and their families--make to keep our nation safe. When elected, supporting Veterans will be my top priority.I support choice for Veterans.
I believe we should expand the Veterans Choice Program to allow Veterans to seek treatment outside of the VA system to meet their medical needs and reduce the strain on the VA.
We must expand mental health services for Veterans returning home from foreign wars and conflicts. Thousands of troops have returned home from Afghanistan and Iraq with
PTSD that has gone untreated. This is wrong, and as your next Senator, I will fight to be on the Veterans Affairs Committee and fight to ensure that every service member who needs care receives it.
