I’ll be honest: I’m angry, John.
Last month, the House passed my bill, the PACT Act, with bipartisan support, to give urgently-needed care to veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits during their service.
But last week, the PACT Act died on the Senate floor, in an apparent act of retaliation as Republicans would rather obstruct progress than do the right thing.
And even worse, three of the senators who are blocking the PACT Act are veterans themselves.
As a twenty-year Navy veteran, I cannot stand by and watch the health of America’s veterans be used as yet another bargaining chip in these callous political games.
That’s why I need your support to help me hold VA-02. So please, chip in $5, $10, $25 – anything you can. I’m running in one of the most competitive races in the country, and I firmly believe that America’s core values are on the ballot in November.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
I’m here today thanks to your dedicated and heartfelt support. I hope you’ll help me defend our veterans and the ideals of freedom, democracy, and justice they fought for.
Sincerely,
Elaine Luria
