Assemblyman Bob Straniere, a conservative Republican running for the 13th Congressional District seat in New York, recently announced the Wounded Warrior Workplace Initiative, a proposal to encourage the hiring of wounded veterans or their families by members of Congress and congressional candidates. As part of the Wounded Warrior Workplace Initiative, Mr. Straniere has created The Straniere Pledge, to hire wounded veterans or members of their immediate family for at least one-third of his congressional staff.
