About this candidate response
DutyStation contacts candidates to ask whether and how they support service members, military families and veterans, and invites them to share their thoughts and priorities. We share their replies here in the candidate’s or campaign’s own words, with minor formatting for readability and correction of obvious spelling mistakes.
No endorsement in either direction. Publishing a reply does not mean DutyStation endorses the candidate. Replying does not mean the candidate or campaign endorses DutyStation.
DutyStation’s website summaries and policy assessments are labeled separately.
Organized by topic. Email greetings and sign-offs are omitted; campaign contact details appear alongside.
Government shutdown and cooperation
I oppose shutting the government down. Consensus of the reasonable is how a union perseveres. I don't think protections are needed for these people, they along with me have the responsibility to vote for individuals who would prevent these self serving actions. Clearly history shows a vote for republicans or democrats puts them in danger of this.
Military care and quality of life
My plans for the military are focused on the receiving of care promised. The firing of 1400 VA employees in Salem Virginia alone is the opposite of methods I would support. Retracting the ability of the executive branch to start hostilities without congressional approval is a primary concern. Ending the war in Iran is a primary concern. This is a quality of life issue.
Veterans’ care
I am not versed in Veterans care issues, but in the past I have been dismayed at my understanding of wait times and denials of care from clearly documented diseases contracted in wartime and at home on bases drinking contaminated water for decades. I imagine court martials are in need for recklessly endangering not only our dedicated patriots but their wives and children.
Family housing
I am not versed on living conditions and housing for the troops and would be supportive of minimum housing standards for military as well as regular citizens. I do not hold soldiers care below or above the care of ordinary citizens and they should be very similar if not the same.
Approach to public service
I hope my duty to respect and care for all people in America comes through.

DutyStation publishes these profiles as independent editorial research. This page is not authorized, sponsored, approved or endorsed by any candidate, campaign or political party. Inclusion, campaign links and published responses do not constitute an endorsement by DutyStation, and a campaign’s participation does not mean it endorses our assessment.
DutyStation is not an official government, Department of Defense, military service or Department of Veterans Affairs publication. Names, images and links identify the subjects and sources; they do not imply affiliation or endorsement.
Policy summaries, potential benefits, tradeoffs and any scores are editorial assessments under our published methodology, not measures of patriotism or recommendations on how to vote. Forecasts are estimates, not guarantees. Missing information, an unpublished score or a campaign’s lack of response is not evidence of opposition to the military, military families or veterans.
Profiles may use AI-assisted research and summarization, which can contain errors. Coverage is incomplete and reflects the sources and review dates shown; positions and records can change. Check the linked original sources. Campaign statements and responses represent the campaign’s own claims, not independently verified outcomes. When published, responses will be attributed and distinguished from DutyStation’s analysis; providing a response does not confer editorial control.
For additions or factual corrections, email editor@dutystation.ai with the profile link, the disputed passage and supporting sources. DutyStation will review submissions and correct material where the evidence supports a change. External websites are controlled by their respective publishers.
