We can never repay the debt we owe to the men and women who sacrificed life and limb to defend our country, but that should never stop us from trying. I was proud to introduce the Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act this week to increase survivor

Our veterans are heroes who made incredible sacrifices to defend our nation. We must ensure our veterans receive the benefits they’ve earned & deserve. It’s why I voted to make benefits stronger for our veterans by keeping cost-of-living adjustments in line w/ Social Security.

Our nation’s military heroes deserve our respect not only in word, but in action. @POTUS Trump signed into law our appropriations measure that includes funding for veteran care, mental health resources and homelessness prevention, and modernizing VA infrastructure.
Signed, sealed, DELIVERED. 🇺🇸 VA healthcare & benefits are FULLY funded. I helped craft our VA budget through my seat on @HouseAppropsGOP, & this critical budget bill was signed into law by President Trump this week. I’ll ALWAYS stand up for our vets!
