National Conference of State Legislatures: “A newly published survey has identified 68 state legislators who serve in the U.S. military as members of their states’ National Guard or Reserve units. The survey found that of the 68 state legislators who also serve in the military, 23 have been deployed or are currently on deployments. All 23 of these legislators have been on at least one deployment while also serving in their respective legislatures. Not surprisingly, many of the deployments of state legislators have been to the Middle East and have occurred within the last four years.”
