The Committee for Veterans’ Advocacy (CVA) works on behalf of our veterans and military families to protect their benefits and champion issues of interest. This includes advocating legislators at the local and state levels to sponsor and vote to pass bills that address issues important to our active duty service members, veterans, and military families. We engage with state Representatives and Senators during both the legislative session and at interim session committee meetings, provide some staffing resources, and encourage VMF Caucus members to provide public comment and testimonial.
We also provide training to any members wanting to testify on behalf of our caucus. Once the legislative session ends, we compile our results into a end of session Legislative Report Card and send our report card to the legislators that have been graded.
