VETERAN ACTION ENDORSES ED GALLREIN FOR KENTUCKY'S 4TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
Veteran Action endorses
@EdGallrein over Rep. Thomas Massie in the Republican primary for Kentucky's 4th Congressional District. The endorsement follows attacks by Massie's allies on Gallrein, a SEAL Team SIX combat veteran, for working his family farm while receiving the VA disability benefits he earned in uniform. Gallrein had a career that spanned three decades as a Navy SEAL Leader who earned four Bronze Stars, the Combat Parachute Badge, and two Presidential Unit Citations across deployments from Central America to the Middle East.
Gallrein will champion Veteran Action's top legislative priorities: the Veterans' Bill of Rights Act and the Veterans' ACCESS Act. A Veteran Action/Rasmussen Reports survey found 94% back the Veterans' Bill of Rights Act, which requires the VA to plainly inform veterans of their existing rights to healthcare, benefits, and community care options. Seventy-five percent say they would be more likely to support a congressional candidate who backs the Veterans' ACCESS Act - the bill that guarantees timely VA care or the immediate right to seek outside care at no extra cost when the VA can't deliver.
"Ed Gallrein will be a champion for veterans in Washington," says
@MarkLucasUSA, Founder and President of Veteran Action. "He is committed to leading the fight for the Veterans' ACCESS Act and the Veterans' Bill of Rights Act - the policies veterans are demanding and Congress keeps failing to deliver."
"Massie's allies are weaponizing a SEAL's medical file to save a sinking campaign," Lucas adds. "That is not transparency. That is panic. Every veteran in this country should remember what happened here, and Kentucky's 4th District will send the message on May 19."
