Advancing Legislation to Expand Veterans’ Opportunities

The Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity convened to vote on legislation that will directly impact our veterans. If signed into law, these bills will increase  accessibility to mental healthcare, educational and vocational counseling, and more. One example is H.R. 1793, or the Veterans Readiness and Employment Transparency Act of 2025. I’m a proud cosponsor and fully support its mission to reduce wait times for disabled veterans seeking career assistance, establish a dedicated hotline for VR&E, and require regional offices to post information about transitional programs. When veterans transition from the military to the civilian world, resources must be readily available to ensure they have everything they need to succeed academically and professionally. Our veterans serve us, and I will always vote in favor of safeguarding their future.
