Ranking Democratic Member's Welcome Message

As Ranking Democratic Member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, I’m pleased to welcome you to our Web site.

There are few principles more important to me than ensuring that our veterans receive the honor and dedicated care that their courage and bravery demand. Owing to that solemn duty, the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs is dedicated to improving health care and benefits for our veterans.

This Web site is designed to allow you to interact with the Committee as it continues this important work. You will find information on our membership, history, upcoming and past hearings, legislation and other important news concerning Committee action.

If you’re looking for information on veterans’ benefits, you’ll find numerous helpful links in the “Veterans Benefits” section.

Thank you for your interest in our committee.

Sincerely,
Bob Filner
