The risks to our servicemembers extend beyond the battlefield.

Each day, 17 veterans take their own life. We desperately need to end the stigma surrounding mental health & ensure veterans in distress get the assistance they need.

Here’s what we’ll do: mikebloom.bg/389V83b

I will expand military health care to cover IVF and fertility services for those who need it. I’ll make sure that military deployment doesn’t inhibit a servicemember’s ability to have a family. mikebloom.bg/389V83b

There are 37,000 homeless veterans on our streets today.
Our vets deserve the security & dignity of a place to call home. We need to fully fund the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program and help cities build transitional housing for veterans. mikebloom.bg/389V83b

Immigrant members of our military are now denied citizenship at a higher rate than civilians.

That's unacceptable.

My plan will protect military families from the threat of deportation and provide servicemembers with a fast track to naturalization: mikebloom.bg/389V83b

Trump has banned transgender Americans from openly serving in our armed forces.

We’re better than that.

I will reverse Trump’s ban and roll back the lingering effects of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. mikebloom.bg/389V83b
