Military & Soldiers

Our region is home to the largest military base in the world and Richard has been a staunch advocate for our troops, as well as their families, in Washington. 

In Congress, Richard has helped rebuild our military and secure needed pay raises for troops, especially those in hazardous combat areas. Richard has successfully fought for more training funding for our troops, ensuring that our soldiers will always have the advantage. He has also sought more resources for when our soldiers return home, fighting to bolster the Preservation of the Force Family program so that soldiers and their families have the resources needed to recover from battlefield wounds, adjust to civilian life, or can seek help if they are experiencing hardship.

To ensure soldiers have the best health care possible, Richard helped get the Rich Stayskal Act signed into law to allow service members to pursue medical malpractice claims in the military.

For military families, he secured increased funding for the Impact Aid program that supports schools near military bases, as well as secured additional resources for military children with special needs.

In summary – Richard works everyday to ensure our troops and their families have the resources they need – and deserve.
