Our 9th Annual Veteran of the Year event has been organized to honor the Veterans of the 29th Senate District who have served our nation with distinction, protected our freedoms, and continue to be leaders and difference-makers in our communities.

These individuals were nominated for their sacrifice and dedication and were selected as finalists because of their ongoing commitment to strengthening the Inland Empire.

As your Senator, I remain deeply committed to championing policies that support our veterans — from expanding access to services and benefits, to ensuring they have the resources needed to thrive in civilian life. I will continue advancing legislation that uplifts veterans and empowers the vital work they do every day in our community.
