Veterans

By Eric Swalwell

Candidate for United States Representative; District 15

This information is provided by the candidate
We must strongly and unequivocally serve those who served us. We owe our troops more than words of appreciation; we owe them real actions to provide meaningful support. I will always support legislation that helps our returning service members and their families receive the care and support they have earned.

Last year my office assisted more than 200 veterans, helping secure more than $700,000 in back benefits.

In Congress I've supported:

  • Upgrading the Veterans Affairs benefits system to end the health claims backlog

  • Maintaining service members' benefits

  • Providing incentives to hire veterans
