Honoring Fallen Navy SEAL in Surprise

This week, I introduced legislation to honor Marc Lee, the first Navy SEAL to be killed in action in Operation Iraqi Freedom, by naming the Surprise post office located at 14955 W Bell Rd after him. In an effort to protect his fellow teammates, Marc exposed himself to direct enemy fire. Naming this post office is just a small token of our appreciation for his service and sacrifice to our Nation. We will never forget the incredible bravery Marc showed on that day.

De Boa Jiu Jitsu is expanding! I was pleased to join owners Leslie and Andrew Gardineer at the grand opening of their expansion. It was a ton of fun!

Casework Highlight

A retired, disabled veteran who lives in our district submitted paperwork over six months ago to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service and the Department of Veterans Affairs to conduct an audit on his benefits. He also contacted our office for assistance. Less than a month after submitting paperwork to our office, he received a deposit in the amount of $80,168.23 in back payment!
