Tim Walz actually said...

Ending the disability claims backlog is of the utmost importance to veterans and their families.

I am appreciative of your service. I am appreciative of the Chairman and the Ranking Member for not giving an inch on this issue.

We can't allow these challenges to prevent us from delivering timely care and benefits to our returning servicemembers.

If we are to be successful we must work together to achieve a claims system that lives up to the service and sacrifices of our veterans.
