Veterans

The interests of our brave men and women who have served in uniform must remain a top priority for the United States government!  Throughout my time in Congress, I have worked consistently to increase funding for the VA and veterans’ benefits as well as supported policies that ensure we treat veterans right. 

I’m the proud author of the Veterans Transplant Coverage Act which updates the Veteran Choice Program to ensure all veterans have access to live-donor organ transplants, regardless of whether or not the organ donor is a veteran.  This important legislation closes a loophole in existing policy and brings a common-sense approach to helping veterans in need.

Our veterans deserve the best and the VA must be held accountable!  Bureaucrats within the VA have a record of skirting responsibilities and commitments to our nation’s warriors.  I called on the FBI to conduct an investigation of the Temple VA facility for criminal activities, and for the Veterans Affairs Administration to investigate as well to administer cultural and bureaucratic reforms.  While the backlogs of disability claims and wait times have fallen, there is more work to be done and I won’t stop until the VA treats veterans right!

I’m committed to working on behalf of veterans to ensure the VA delivers  the services they’ve earned.  My Round Rock and Temple offices stand ready to work with veterans to assist them with any casework issues.
