ABOUT

Veterans for Kuster is a group of Granite State veterans supporting Congresswoman Annie Kuster for re-election. The group cited Congresswoman Kuster’s long record of standing up for veterans, service members, and their families in their endorsement. Kuster has worked with Republicans and Democrats to improve access to care and services for veterans throughout her time in Congress. She was one of just two Democrats in the House to cosponsor the VA MISSION Act, which expanded access to community care for NH veterans. This legislation helps veterans in states like New Hampshire that lack a full-service VA medical facility and expands access to the Choice Program for all veterans in the Granite State. She also helped to pass into law the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act which extended a presumption of exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides to veterans who served off the coast during the Vietnam War.

From Annie

It is so important that we stand up and support those who have sacrificed so much for us. As the daughter of a World War II Prisoner of War, taking care of the men and women who serve is personal.

We need to work together across the aisle to ensure our veterans are served as well as they have served us. Whether it’s expanding veterans’ access to care so they can get the services they need and deserve or securing affordable housing units for homeless veterans, I’m so proud to stand up for the brave men and women who have served our country.
