Veterans
Both of my grandfathers served as military pilots during World War II, and their sacrifice to this great country never went unnoticed. The women and men defending our country today should feel that same appreciation. Sadly, this is often not the case.
As a member of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, I will work to restore our veterans’ faith in the VA and improve the quality of care for Granite State Veterans.
I am holding VA leadership accountable and fighting to improve the quality of physical and mental health care provided to our veterans. Veterans deserve specialized and dedicated care, which is why I oppose efforts to privatize the VA, which could cut the quality care veterans receive. I will also continue to fight to make the Manchester facility a full-service VA, as we are one of the only states left in the nation without a full-service VA facility. No veteran should ever face obstacles to receive the care they have earned and the care they need.
