Standing with veterans from across the 10th district ,I am firmly committed to bringing a responsible end to the war in Iraq and taking care of our veterans when they return home.
When our young men and women fight for our country overseas, they need to know that their representatives will fight for them when they return home. Over the past eight years, Mark Kirk has voted 24 times against veterans benefits, while refusing to support a responsible end to the war in Iraq. I believe that America's servicemen and women deserve representatives who will honor their bravery and sacrifice by keeping our promise to care for them and their families.
