Congressman Nick LaLota (R-Rocky Point) has been elected Vice Chair of the For Country Caucus, a bipartisan group of military veterans in the U.S. House of Representatives dedicated to strengthening national security, supporting veterans, and fostering principled leadership in Congress.
The For Country Caucus is a bipartisan group in the U.S. House of Representatives composed of military Veterans who prioritize working across party lines to advance policies that strengthen national security, support veterans and their families, and promote bipartisan cooperation. According to the Caucus, its members are committed to putting country over party, focusing on pragmatic solutions, and upholding the values of service and leadership they embraced in the military.

“I am honored to serve as Vice Chair of the bipartisan For Country Caucus for the 119th Congress. As a Navy Veteran, I understand the values of service, teamwork, and putting country before party—principles that guide our work in Congress,” said LaLota. “The For Country Caucus unites Republican and Democrat Veterans to advance policies that strengthen our national security, support our Veterans, and enhance military readiness. This caucus has a proven track record of delivering results for those who serve, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure we continue making a meaningful impact for our Veterans, military, and nation.”
