Welcome to Veterans For Lord

For many years, Representative Lord has been a  member of American Legion Auxiliary and American Legion Riders and has spent countless hours volunteering her time to help veterans and their spouses. 

( American Legion Auxiliary  is non-political, and membership is not an endorsement.)

Representative Lord requested to be on the Veterans Interim Committee so she would have a greater impact on making sure vital Veterans issues are addressed.

Representative Lord is married to a vietnam era veteran who attended the Coast Guard Academy.  As a spouse to a veteran, she understands their needs.

Representative Lord has consistently voted for bills that directly help Veterans and their spouses:
