Letter to the editor: Harris will protect our freedoms

As a proud Army veteran, I believe our country faces unprecedented threats to our democracy. We need a leader who can stand up and fight for our basic values, and that leader is Kamala Harris.

Like veterans, Harris is deeply committed to defending our freedoms. From voting rights to protecting a woman’s right to choose, she has held the line against Donald Trump’s anti-freedom agenda. As a former prosecutor, Harris is uniquely equipped to hold Trump accountable for his criminality and corruption, and her strength and grace under pressure will sharply contrast Trump’s chaotic and reckless style.

Harris shows empathy and respect for those who serve. Harris has championed expanded VA benefits and housing assistance for veterans and proposed a fix for the “other than honorable” discharges that have resulted in benefits being unfairly denied to hundreds of thousands of vets with PTSD and TBI. Her commitment to our community is unwavering, and she will continue to fight for us as president.

This election, let’s honor our service by supporting Kamala Harris. She will protect the freedoms we fought for and ensure a brighter future for all Americans.
