I’m proud to support Annie Kuster for re-election to Congress because she has consistently stood up for veterans like me in New Hampshire. Annie worked with Republicans and Democrats to pass the VA MISSION Act which expanded access to care for veterans right in their community. It is an outstanding program and a great benefit that I am grateful to have.

As a Navy veteran of Vietnam who was exposed to Agent Orange, I especially appreciate her work to help pass into law the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act, extending VA health care to other members of the Navy who were also exposed to the herbicide while serving offshore in the Vietnam War.

Annie fights for veterans and all Granite Staters by working to lower the costs of health care and prescription drugs and combating climate change. I urge you to cast your vote for Annie Kuster on Nov. 3.
