I have always been a big advocate for protecting our veterans and repaying them for the extraordinary service they gave us. Throughout my time as a Legislator, I have passed several bills such as the "Hiring Our Heroes Act", which waives the civil service exam fee for veterans, and amended the Nassau County Human Rights Law to prohibit discrimination against veterans.
Additionally, my “Dignity for Our Heroes” package consisted of two bills aimed at eliminating veteran homelessness here in Nassau County. These bills added veterans as a protected class under the Nassau County Human Rights Law, and created the Nassau Commission on Ending Veteran Homelessness to build a transitional supportive housing facility for all veterans in need.
