Veterans make up a small percentage of congressional staff, which means their unique experience and perspective is often missing on Capitol Hill.
A recent survey from HillVets, a bipartisan veterans group based in Washington, D.C., found that roughly 1% of staff members serving in congressional offices are veterans. In contrast, roughly 60% of annual discretionary spending is related to veterans and the military.
