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.

Creation of a “Tenant Bill of Rights”

  • Perhaps the MOAA’s most significant achievement relative to the 2020 NDAA is the inclusion of a foundational document establishing tenant rights and responsibilities. The “Tenant Bill of Rights” includes the right to know historical issues with a given housing unit, provides guidance for communicating concerns and outlines when tenants can withhold rent. This will go a long way toward leveling the playing field between tenants and landlords.

Reimbursement for Housing Related Healthcare Costs

  • Families have reported such harmful conditions as lead-based paint, rat infestations, exposed asbestos and even rampant mold in military housing. Any one of these hazards can be harmful to one’s health. The NDAA will ensure that military housing partners will now be on the hook for medical conditions caused by unsafe conditions.
  • Additionally, landlords will be expected to pay relocation or dislocation costs for tenants living in unsafe conditions. This recommendation creates a financial incentive for private housing partners to complete military housing improvements quickly and thoroughly.

Active-Duty Pay & Financial Stability

  • With 77% of active-duty families saying a dual income is vital to their financial well-being (up from 63% in 2019), adequate compensation is mission-critical.
  • Targeted Increases: Ensuring base pay and allowances keep pace with inflation to alleviate reliance on a single income.
  • Housing Allowance Reforms: Re-evaluating Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates so they accurately reflect the fair market value of local housing, minimizing out-of-pocket expenses.🏥

Healthcare Accessibility

  • Medical care must be reliable, continuous, and swift, especially given the emotional tolls of military life.
  • Continuity of Care: Eliminating the need to restart the search for specialist care or mental health counseling after a relocation.
  • Capacity & Wait Times: Reducing appointment wait times and bridging the gap in specialized pediatric and mental health services.

Timely VA Care

  • Recruit and retain staff: Increase pay incentives and loan forgiveness for medical personnel working in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities.
  • Expand community care: Streamline referrals to licensed private providers when VA wait times exceed standard benchmarks.
  • Scale telehealth: Broaden virtual and mobile health infrastructure for remote or mobility-limited veterans.

Policy review pending. The campaign statements are published above; independent assessment and official-record review remain separate.

Independence & editorial disclaimer

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.
