Military and Veterans
Wyoming is home to over 40,000 veterans and advocating for policies which seek to bring relief and assistance to our veterans will always be my top priority. I am honored to represent them in Congress and fight for those who fought for our country. I am also working to ensure our military is used in ways that put America first – with Congress’ approval, as the Constitution dictates.
