Kelley supports veterans

Kellogg

As a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces, I am proud to support State Rep. Dan Kelley in the upcoming election. Dan Kelley has stood for Iowa’s veterans, and I stand with him.

We know the best ways to show our gratitude to returning veterans is through our actions. Dan has lived that promise, working to make sure Iowa is a place where veterans can live, work and return to civilian life.

For example, Dan has worked to reduce tuition for veterans attending collage after returning back to Iowa.

Dan understands the financial and emotional burdens placed on deployed soldier’s and their families. For those in danger of losing their homes, he was a proud member of the bipartisan coalition to offer additional protections from foreclosures immediately following their deploying.  In fact, this was the first bill Dan authored, just days after being sworn-in as a new state representative four years ago.

Dan has also worked closely with Patriot Outreach and other veterans organizations to ensure troops recently returning from battles have the necessary support to cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD.

But speaking as a veteran from long ago I can tell you that Dan knows firsthand that returning veterans have earned the right to come back home to good jobs and safe communities. Dan’s been tireless in helping Newton become a great example of the potential of the wind energy economy.

Newton’s comeback is critical for our veterans and for all of us, and because of that, I am voting to re-elect Dan Kelly, and I hope you will do the same.
