Two of the key elements required of our elected representatives is to listen to constituents and act on their behalf. Congressman Connolly has done just that with his recently passed bill, the Helping
Active Duty Deployed Act, drafted to ease financial burdens on our military personnel.
When talking to people he represents (and Connolly does this a lot) he found that they had to pay many extra costs for financial obligations when they were deployed.
Congressman Connolly along with Virginia Congressmen Perriello and Nye drafted up a bill to help our warriors and it was passed in record time, in a bipartisan vote.
As a Vietnam veteran, I would have appreciated someone who cared so much about me in 1968. Thank you Congressman Connolly.
