Week In Review
This week, Congress passed 7 bills to improve care for our veterans. Watch this week's Week In Review video to hear about each of those bills and how they would help those veterans who did make it home.
Every time I turn on the TV, all I hear is people yelling at each other. It can be hard to break through the noise and get to the truth. Here are a couple stories from this week that you might have missed.
Watch this week's Week In Review video to hear more about just some of what we got done this week, including health care reform and government funding.
To learn about my work this week (including efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, keep the government open, lower taxes and improve our healthcare system), watch this week's Week In Review video.
This week I announced legislation to declare a federal emergency when the U.S. Army Corps causes damaging harmful algal blooms. Our bill, the Federal Do No Harm Act, provides federal assistance for disaster cleanup, including the removal of toxic algal biomass and muck from affected waterways.
Our veterans who have served our country - risked life and limb for the United States of America - deserve choice when it comes to their health care. That's why this week we passed legislation to eliminate the sunset of the Veterans Choice Program.
Watch our Week In Review video to hear about a bill we introduced to keep Jewish Community Centers safe, hearings we held to improve the water quality in our area, a bill we passed in committee to combat anti-Semitism and steps we're taking to ensure rail safety.
Over the last several months, one of my top priorities has been listening to people in our community about how they will be impacted by health care reform. I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will join me in working to improve our nation’s healthcare system.
It's important for veterans to come together and for the VA to establish and maintain expertise in providing our unique healthcare needs. Unfortunately, too many VA facilities have lost their hunger to provide our care.
Every day that I go to work, I make it my goal to give the people in our community a voice in Congress. There's nothing I take more seriously than my duty to listen to the people I represent and to act on their concerns in Washington.
