“I rise today to recognize Sandy Ledy, a dedicated Senate staff member who will retire after more than two decades of public service in my office. Soon after being elected to the Senate in 1994, Senator John Kyl was wise enough to offer Sandy--a standout campaign volunteer--a job on his new staff. Sandy was given two options: She could work as a staffer in Washington, DC, or she could serve in Arizona and serve as John Kyl's military case worker. Sandy knew she couldn't pass up an opportunity to serve those who serve our Nation. It was an easy decision for Sandy and a fortuitous one for Arizona's military servicemembers, veterans, and their families. Sandy's genuine passion for our military service men and women, combined with her meticulous approach to her work, has made her an invaluable staffer. Sandy is well-versed in all things military, from regulations, to benefits, to the service academies. Her vast knowledge has ensured that Arizona's military service men and women have had nothing but the best assistance for more than the past two decades. Her reputation preceded her, and when I was elected as Senator in 2012, I had an easy decision of my own--offering Sandy a job on my staff. Thankfully, she said yes. Sandy is probably best known around the State as the point person for service academy nominations.…”
