A record number of post-9/11 veterans have been elected to Congress in recent years. While we are pleased that members of our community now serve on Capitol Hill, simple representation is not enough though. We intend to hold elected officials from our community accountable to issues important to post-9/11 veterans.
The list below catalogues post-9/11 veterans that are currently Members of the 115th Congress. If they represent you, we urge you to inform them of the IAVA priorities important to you.
