Veterans' Service & Advocacy
Rudolph Tinker's military service history and advocacy for veterans in Palm Beach County.
Rudolph Tinker’s Army Journey
A Legacy of Service
Rudolph "Rudy" Tinker enlisted in the United States Army in 2002, driven by a deep sense of duty following the events of September 11th. Serving honorably from 2002 to 2005 during the Global War on Terror, Rudy learned the true meaning of leadership, discipline, and sacrifice.
His service wasn't just about the uniform; it was about protecting the values we hold dear and ensuring that those who serve our country are never forgotten when they return home. Today, he brings that same mission-driven focus to his campaign for County Commission.
Supporting Our Heroes Locally
Palm Beach County VA
The West Palm Beach VA Medical Center is a lifeline for thousands of veterans in our community. Rudy believes that local government must play a proactive role in partnering with the VA to ensure veterans have seamless access to healthcare, mental health resources, and housing assistance.
As your Commissioner, Rudy will advocate for expanded transportation options for veterans to reach the VA and push for local initiatives that bridge the gap between federal benefits and local needs.
