On Homeland Security: Tireless advocate for keeping our commitment to veterans

Jeanne Shaheen is a tireless advocate for keeping our commitment to veterans. In the U.S. Senate, she has worked to provide tax credits to businesses that hire veterans, introduced legislation to help veterans start their own businesses, and led efforts to expand care for returning veterans and their families. The bipartisan Sanders-McCain legislation passed by the Senate last month included language from Senator Shaheen to provide New Hampshire veterans greater access to health care. The bill would allow veterans living more than 20 miles away from a VA facility, in a state like NH which does not have a full service VA hospital, to receive care at certain non-VA medical facilities.

Jeanne Shaheen has been outraged by the backlog at the Department of Veteran's Affairs. She has been an outspoken critic of the issues there and introduced legislation to hire additional local VA staff to work to eliminate the backlog and to fund legal clinics that would help veterans get their care faster.
