Letter to the editor: Cooper advocates for veterans

As a proud veteran who has served our great nation, I am writing to express my great appreciation for the unwavering support and dedication shown by our state representative, Jill Cooper, in advocating for the well-being and rights of veterans. Her tireless efforts in ensuring that those who have served are properly recognized, supported and cared for are so appreciated.

One aspect that truly stands out is Cooper’s advocacy for improved access to veterans services. Three times a month, a veteran service officer comes to one of her offices to offer assistance to veterans with disability and pension claims, answer benefit questions, help spouses with survivor benefits problems, and guide veterans through the application process for grants and other benefits.

Cooper has consistently engaged with veterans and their families, attending community events, and hosts an annual veterans breakfast. This personal involvement demonstrates a genuine commitment to understanding the unique challenges faced by veterans and ensuring their voices are heard.

Please join me in supporting Jill Cooper for reelection.
