Veterans For Responsible Leadership is proud to endorse U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, JoAnna Mendoza, for the U.S. House to represent Arizona's 6th District. At just 17, she answered the call to serve, enlisting in the U.S. Navy before joining the U.S. Marine Corps. Her 20-year military career was defined by leadership, sacrifice, and service, marked by her role as a Marine Corps Drill Instructor, deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and leading the next generation of Marines. Since leaving the military she has served as a nonprofit leader, veteran advocate, congressional staffer, and policy expert. There is no one more prepared and ready to lead and fight for the good people of Arizona than JoAnna Mendoza. VFRL is honored to support her candidacy.
