Julia Brownley said "Over 275 bipartisan bills are piled up on Mitch McConnell's desk because he refuses to bring them to the Senate floor for a vote. Three of those bills are my bills, each of which passed the House with over 400 votes from Democrats and Republicans alike. H.R. 95, the Homeless Veterans Families Act, will keep veterans and their families together and off the streets in safe and adequate housing. H.R. 840, the Veterans' Access to Child Care Act, will ensure veterans have access to childcare to attend critical medical appointments. And H.R. 3224, the Deborah Sampson Act, aims to address the inequities and barriers that women veterans face when accessing VA care and benefits. I urge Majority Leader McConnell to allow the Senate to vote so our veterans will have the support and care they have earned and deserve. ___________________
