John Vick, Executive Director of Concerned Veterans for America, hosts this special episode of American Potential featuring U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy, a decorated combat veteran and one of the newest members of Congress.
Senator Sheehy shares how his military service shaped his leadership philosophy and why veterans bring a vital mission-first mindset to public office. They discuss the sharp decline in veteran representation in Congress, the importance of giving veterans more healthcare choice through the Veterans Access Act, and the urgent need to restore fiscal discipline and national purpose.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that when veterans lead, America is stronger, more focused, and more free.
