Stephanie is taking the words and wisdom of South Dakotans back to Washington. This past Monday, July 28, Stephanie held a field hearing to listen to the military community about their experiences with the Transition Assistance Program (TAP). As chair of the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, under the Veterans Affairs Committee, Stephanie brought Ranking Member John Boozman (R-AK) to Rapid City to see first hand how legislation affects people back home in South Dakota.
Stephanie and Rep. Boozman heard from soldiers, veterans, commanding officers, soldier's spouses, leaders of veterans’ service organizations, and those who work in the government to assist soldiers and veterans with TAP. This was a great opportunity for those in the community to affect legislation, and another way Stephanie is working for South Dakota in Washington.
