Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

As a veteran, the stories that have the most impact are the hardships of transitioning veteran from military life to civilian life. It is not just the difficulties of seeing doctors and receiving treatment, it is also the burden of financial burdens. We can do better in ensuring transitioning veterans are better prepared for the life after service.
