Kyrsten Sinema

Since coming to the Senate, I have led bipartisan efforts to help service members and veterans build supportive resilient communities.

I commend Senators Tester and Moran for their quick bipartisan work drafting and introducing the VA Emergency Transportation Access Act.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing on such an important topic.

I still hear from my Veterans Advisory Committee in Arizona that the lack of a cohesive network creates challenges for veterans.

And are there any metrics that we can use to gauge the growth and strength of these types of support networks?

I am laser-focused on finding solutions to boost access to housing and opportunity.

Arizonans across our State are struggling to find housing they can afford.

Does your agency value hearing from small businesses and retail investors, and how are you ensuring that they have adequate time?

I would like my staff to be briefed by your staff in terms of the specific progress that you have made.

We have got real challenges that require real solutions, but not more tired, partisan talking points.

Wherever I go in Arizona, I hear from local leaders and everyday families about the housing supply challenges our State is facing.

One issue my HEALTH Act bill is trying to address is to ensure that veterans who are seeking mental health care or treatment for substance abuse can self-refer to get the help they need when they need it.

What steps could the organizations here or our congressional offices take to ensure that veterans in Native American communities, for us particularly the Navajo Nation, receive the same or better outreach?

I have also joined with Senator Moran, our Ranking Member, in introducing the HEALTH Act, to ensure Arizona veterans retain the ability to make their own decisions around their health care.
