U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross (FL-15) joined U.S. Reps. Nugent, Ros-Lehtinen, Southerland, and Yoho in calling for the resignation of Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.

"America's Veterans have risked their lives for our freedom," said Ross. "The least they deserve is timely access to quality health care. I am thankful for the military service that all Veterans, including Secretary Shinseki have given to our country. However, the horrific misconduct that occurred under the watch of Secretary Shinseki is unacceptable and leaves our Veterans untrusting of the department that was created to help them. For this reason, I call for Secretary Shinseki's resignation."
