Very proud to announce that on June 28th I introduced the No Hero Left Untreated Act, which would help veterans recover from post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, military sexual trauma, chronic pain, and opiate addiction. Our veterans risked everything to protect our country and our values, and we owe them a tremendous debt. Now we have an opportunity to support and expand on promising technology that could bring relief to our heroes, and I am proud to be part of the effort to move forward with providing the best treatment for our veterans. More information here.

Cyber Security
Last week I participated in a House Armed Services Committee hearing on military cyber operations. In an increasingly complex world with many complex threats, cyberattacks continue to be some of the most difficult to address. We must stay on the cutting edge of technology today so that we are secure tomorrow. Watch live here.
Hope for the Future
