Here’s my promise to you: If I have the honor of serving as the next commander in chief, I will ensure that our American heroes know that I will have their back and honor their sacrifice. Always.

1. My boys’ first pick is @danielfeehan who’s trying to flip #MN01 in one of the tightest races in the country. An Army vet & Bronze Star recipient, he came within a point in 2018 in a district Trump won by 15. Follow him & donate w/me: secure.actblue.com/donate/fe… #housework2020

There’s no summer homework, so my teen boys are doing some “housework” (no, not chores). Each day in August they’ll recommend to me a House candidate in a battleground. I’ll personally donate $500 & encourage others to help. Stay tuned for their 1st pick! #bluewave #housework2020

Today, we were disappointed to hear some of our members boo the press during President Trump's remarks. We rely on the media to spread the VFW message, and @CNN, @NBCNews, @ABC, @FoxNews, @CBSNews, & others on site today, were our invited guests. We were happy to have them there.
