Issue Position: Serving Those Who Protected Us: Our Veterans

Issue Position

In a prior Congress, I helped passed legislation in the House, the Wounded Veteran Job Security Act, to ensure that wounded veterans returning from service are not forced to choose between keeping their job at home and getting needed treatment. As I visit with Texas veterans, I understand the need for prompt, nearby care, which is why I worked to expand veterans' health facilities so Texas veterans don't have to drive long distances for the basic health care they have earned. We must work to improve the VA, not to end, "privatize," or dismantle it.
