We expect better of the VA medical care system. Our veterans deserve better.

Would you agree that these veterans, frustrated by access to critical care, would be at elevated risk for suicide?

I am very concerned about how the VA has interpreted and differentiated between institutional and uninstitutional extended care.

I would have liked to have addressed the initiatives they are talking about today.

One death from substance use disorder is one too many.

I urge all the members of this committee to support this important legislation.

Transparency and accountability are key to building trust and confidence among veterans and their families who rely on VA medical facilities for their healthcare needs.

As the representative of over 50,000 veterans in my district, I believe we must ensure that VA medical facilities are acting in the best interests of their patients.

I appreciate the steadfast dedication that each of you have made to help our veterans.

I look forward to continue working closely with Ranking Member Brownley and all of our members on both sides of the aisle.

Just in Scott County alone, Representative Miller-Meeks' lead shrank from election night by about 30 to 40 votes during the recount.

The Iowa Second race, where now Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks won by 6 votes out of approximately 390,000 cast, truly shows how important the Election Observer Program can be.

The person who was elected was done so as a result of free and fair election, which is a key constitutional responsibility.
