Issues Veterans
Advocating for veterans is one of my top
priorities as a senator. Our veterans have made incredible
sacrifices on behalf of our country and in return for their
courageous service it is our responsibility to make sure they
receive the benefits they have more than earned, such as good
health care.
I was very pleased to be part of recent, successful efforts
to open the new Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) clinics
in Hayward and Rice Lake, and to help in the lead-up to the
groundbreaking of the new spinal cord unit at the Milwaukee
VA Zablocki Medical Center. These are important developments
for Wisconsin’s veterans and I look forward to continuing
to support the needs of these brave men and women.
I have also introduced and supported numerous bills to help
the VA provide better benefits and service to veterans. Keeping
our commitment to our veterans is just as important as ever
as we welcome home another generation of veterans from Iraq
and Afghanistan. I invite you to take the time to look through
these pages to see what we can all do to help our veterans.
