Tucson, Ariz. – Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva is accepting applications until the afternoon of June 24 for a seven-member Veteran Advisory Council he will establish in the coming weeks. The Council will advise the Congressman on veterans issues and serve as a liaison with the Southern Arizona veterans community.

“The veterans in Southern Arizona deserve the best representation and constituent service I can offer, and I look forward to working with the Council to make sure their needs are always being met,” Grijalva said. “This group will represent a diverse cross section of the district because the entire veteran community needs to be heard. I thank those who apply for their interest and their service, and I’m excited to get started as soon as possible.”

Eligible participants should live in the Seventh Congressional District and be a veteran or veteran spouse or a representative of a veterans organization. Interested candidates should submit a resumé, completed application form, and two letters of recommendation by 4:00 p.m. Arizona time on June 24 to Jose Miranda in Rep. Grijalva’s office located at:
