FL-19

Home to Those Who Served

Southwest Florida is home to more than 60,000 veterans — men and women who served our nation and chose to build their lives here. They earned their benefits through sacrifice, and they shouldn't have to fight a bureaucratic war at home to access what they've been promised.

Yet too many of our veterans face months-long waits for VA healthcare appointments, mountains of paperwork for disability claims, and a system that seems designed to wear them down rather than lift them up. Victor has met with veteran families across FL-19 who are frustrated, exhausted, and feel forgotten by the system they served.

As an attorney who has spent his career cutting through bureaucratic obstacles on behalf of his clients, Victor understands how to navigate complex systems — and how to reform them. He's running to be the advocate in Congress who fights to streamline VA services, expand access to healthcare, and ensure every veteran in FL-19 gets the support they've earned.

"Our veterans earned their benefits through sacrifice. They shouldn't have to fight a bureaucratic war at home to access what they've been promised."
