Political Quotes

“I thank Representative Takano for his leadership. I am glad that veterans can still bring this House together. Mr. Speaker, I was honored to work with Speaker McCarthy back in 2017 on the pilot program, which has been a resounding success to provide veterans who serve this Nation with a technology skill so they can get jobs when they are back in the United States. There was an 84 percent graduation rate, 12,000 veterans have been helped by this program, and the average salary was $65,000. These are the types of things that we need to do in the House, bringing the House together to actually improve veterans' lives. I appreciate Representative Ciscomani's leadership, and I look forward to this program being permanent and hopefully expanded so veterans who serve our Nation, who do the highest duty, have the opportunity to have secure livings when they are back at home.”
