Chairman Bost, Vice Chair Radewagen Release Women Veteran Task Force Report

Press Release

"I owe a huge thank you to my colleagues, Rep. Radewagen and Rep. Brownley, for the good work they poured into the bipartisan Women Veteran Task Force over the last six months. Under Rep. Radewagen's leadership as Chair, the task force held a handful of roundtables and spoke with dozens of women veterans to gain vitally important insight into what today's female veterans struggle with. These unique challenges include transitioning from the military, facing underemployment in the workforce, feeling safe in VA medical centers, and running into barriers when seeking disability benefits and medical treatment. We know that women are the fastest growing group of veterans, which is why I was proud to reauthorize the task force in the new Republican majority to ensure that they have access to the good care and services they have earned after they leave the military. As Chairman, I look forward to taking the successes of the task force into the rest of this Congress to continue fighting for the brave women who have and will serve our nation in uniform."
