FIND OUT WHY IT IS ESSENTIAL TO HAVE AN ADVOCATE WITH A MILITARY BACKGROUND
After ten years in the military and two years as a company commander, I deeply understand the issues service members face. I understand the need for an advocate who understands the military's complexities, including acronyms, rank structure, and military culture. When we share the same background, we share the same goals.
Congress oversees the Department of Defense (DOD), which executes laws passed by Congress. In the end, ultimately, Congress is DOD's boss.
Congress is not on the front lines with you. Although they do their best to understand and improve the military, they are often unaware of day-to-day issues.
Identifying the military's needs means you

Congress is not on the front lines with you. Although they do their best to understand and improve the military, they are often unaware of day-to-day issues.
Identifying the military's needs means you are a catalyst for change. Transform your individual casework, congressional inquiry, or proposal into legislation.
In-person meetings are crucial to helping people connect on a deeper level and building trust and rapport. Since most staffers we meet with are veterans or congressional fellows, connecting with them about our shared military experience is essential.

In-person meetings show a sense of seriousness and urgency that a phone call or a Zoom meeting cannot convey, and they can lead to your case becoming a priority.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) authorizes funding levels each year. It provides authority for the U.S. military and other critical defense priorities, ensuring America's forces have the training, equipment, and resources they need to accomplish their missions.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) authorizes funding levels each year. It provides authority for the U.S. military and other critical defense priorities, ensuring America's forces have the training, equipment, and resources they need to accomplish their missions.
This is how service members are paid. Although delayed some years, it's a bipartisan package that will always pass, as it's un-American on both sides of the aisle to leave service members with no paycheck. Because the NDAA passes every year, there is ample opportunity to pass legislation in this expansive act.
I bring seven years of expertise to the legislative process. I am well-versed in the role of the House and Senate Armed Services committees, as they have the final say on what is ultimately packaged into the NDAA.
A congressional inquiry is a way for constituents to seek help from their elected officials regarding matters involving the Department of Defense (DOD). Your congress member will file a congressional inquiry for you. This will trigger an investigation into your case. DOD is required to reply within 30 days and provide a follow-up response
A congressional inquiry is a way for constituents to seek help from their elected officials regarding matters involving the Department of Defense (DOD). Your congress member will file a congressional inquiry for you. This will trigger an investigation into your case. DOD is required to reply within 30 days and provide a follow-up response within 30 days. This is an ideal tool for holding your command accountable after exhausting other internal avenues.
I have ten years of military experience, which enables me to ask the right questions to ensure a legitimate response from the military rather than accepting a blanket explanation. The Department of Defense (DOD) rarely welcomes congressional intervention and is likely to provide only minimal details to express its disdain for being questioned by Congress.
Congressional offices typically lose interest in assisting if the Department of Defense (DOD) provides a semi-reasonable explanation or follows up only once. That's why conducting a comprehensive investigation request is crucial the first time.
It is essential to have all the details when trying to resolve your individual case. The Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Secret Service (SS), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have various versions of FOIA requests, and they can be challenging to navigate if you do
It is essential to have all the details when trying to resolve your individual case. The Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Secret Service (SS), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have various versions of FOIA requests, and they can be challenging to navigate if you don’t know what you're looking for or submit an incomplete FOIA request.
If your FOIA request isn't completed efficiently, it can lead to delays and back-and-forth communication, causing long wait times. I can help you navigate this process and find the data you need promptly.
