I celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, rising above hatred and oppression.

I’m proud to represent a state with more than 1.6 million veterans—including the largest population of women veterans in the country. This resolution is about more than recognition; it’s about ensuring veterans get the care, benefits, and respect they’ve earned. #VeteransDay
