"the budget request is critical."

"This Budget ensures all Veterans, including women Veterans, Veterans of color, and LGBTQ+ Veterans, receive the care and benefits they have earned."

"This budget request will ensure VA is moving swiftly and smartly into the future, with much-needed monetary investments in our most successful and vital programs."

"every decision I make will be based on increasing access and improving outcomes for veterans."
