Tom Suozzi on Homeland Security

Protect our core values as Americans

I will vigorously support intelligence cooperation and military aid to Israel. It's in our best interest to do so: any hint that this cooperation could be at risk is a dangerous signal to Israel, and emboldens our shared enemies. I will vote to fund a renewed 10-year commitment of a minimum $3.1 billion annually for military assistance to Israel, as well as additional funding for foreign aid.

Warriors to Work: public-private partnership for vets' jobs

As Nassau County Executive, I spearheaded the county's Warriors to Work program, a public-private partnership that helped match veterans with open jobs in the local business community. I oversaw Nassau County's participation in a series of Veteran Stand Downs, which aim to support homeless vets in need, and through this and like initiatives, helped hundreds of needy veterans find jobs, training, treatment, shelter, and housing during my time in office.

In Congress, I will fight for better services & support on behalf of military families who serve alongside our armed forces. It's high time we treat our national heroes and their families with the compassion & respect they deserve.
