Hawley\u2019s Record On Veterans: Voting Against Healthcare, Jobs, Housing, And More"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Senator Josh Hawley is up for reelection for the first time since he joined the United States Senate, and he should be nervous. He\u2019s going to have to stand behind his record on veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the race heats up, Hawley\u2019s trying to convince us he\u2019s worked for veterans. So let\u2019s take a walk down memory lane and remind ourselves where Josh Hawley really stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawley Voted Against Treatment For Veteran Burn Pit Victims<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Just last year, Hawley voted down a bill that would provide medical treatment to veterans who were victims to toxic burn pits overseas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open-air burn pits are large areas of land where the military burns all sorts of waste, including plastics, rubber, human waste, and toxic chemicals. Veterans exposed to burn pits can wind up with any number of medical conditions, including asthma, chronic sinus and throat conditions, and more than 14 types of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawley Held Up Funds For Veterans Affairs<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, Hawley delayed a vote to continue funding the department of Veterans Affairs, which would have caused furloughs and reduced services for veterans across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 400,000 Missourians and their families could be affected<\/a> if the VA had to reduce services. The VA offers vital services in varying facets of veterans\u2019 lives \u2013 medical care and prescription drugs, home loans, education and training, job preparedness and employment, and so much more. Without these services, veterans could face unemployment, a lack of health care, and homelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawley\u2019s Record Is Black And White – Don\u2019t Let Him Convince You Otherwise<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Our veterans do not deserve to be used as political pawns. They\u2019ve risked their lives to uphold the same democracy Hawley tried to destroy. Hawley should use his power in the Senate to stand up for our veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
