As a veteran myself, I am committed to ensuring the men and women serving our country and their families are treated well, with honor, respect and dignity. The caring, dedicated actions of Sen. Elizabeth M. Schneider speak louder than words of her commitment to serve us.

When I asked for her help with moving the Lincoln Veterans Clinic project along she stepped up the pressure to get it done.

Sen. Schneider was successful passing legislation to help service families have the time they need together upon returning from duty. She also frequently makes herself available to us. Elizabeth is part of our community, and is always there when we need her.

Sen. Schneider is a strong voice for us in our district and in Augusta. She stands up for us and on Nov. 4 I will be voting for her and recommend everyone else in our area stand up and vote for her, too. Schneider is a good and honest person who has shown her respect for those in service, veterans and our fallen heroes.

We veterans put our lives on the line for our country. I hope everyone respects that service and will take the time to vote with me for Sen. Schneider.
