A member of the House Armed Services Committee, Gabrielle improved the new G.I. Bill, worked to pass the biggest VA funding increase ever and fights for the needs of Southern Arizona’s military families.
“[Gabrielle is a] tireless fighter for the 162nd Fighter Wing, working to ensure the future of its missions at Tucson International Airport as well as the millions of dollars it pumps into Southern Arizona’s economy every year.”- Arizona Army and Air National Guard Adjutant Gen. David Rataczak
“I have known Congresswoman Giffords for a number of years and my respect for her integrity and moderate approach to issues continues to grow. Her concern for our men and women in the service of our country is especially noteworthy. Frankly, even though I have been a lifelong Conservative, I find that Congresswoman Giffords brings a sense of thoughtfulness and moderation to any issue, and I like that… [S]he is not an emotional, ‘shoot from the hip’ politician. When Gabby shoots, it’s on target.”-Glen W. (Bill) Van Dyke, Maj. Gen USAF (ret.) and former Adjutant General of Arizona
