Congresswoman King-Hinds Congratulates Secretary Collins on Confirmation

Washington – Today, Congresswoman King-Hinds applauded the bi-partisan confirmation of former Congressman Doug Collins to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs.  

“Secretary Collins is very distinguished and well respected,” said Congresswoman King-Hinds. “He understands that the federal government must do more for our veterans. In the CNMI, we have a sizeable veteran population that is not receiving adequate care. They deserve better.”

“As a member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, I am excited to collaborate with him and the VA to help give veterans the care they so rightfully deserve.”

Secretary Collins was confirmed by the U.S. Senate today by a vote of 77-23.
