	Ruben Kihuen on Homeland Security

Focus on veterans, not defense company lobbyists

Unfortunately, spending decisions for our military and veterans are often made by Member of Congress trying to please defense company lobbyists or bring jobs to their district instead of what is best for our service members. Our military spending decisions should be made by those we entrust to defend this nation, not by lobbyists trying to ensure a good quarter for shareholders.

Reform the DOD budget process to put the needs of those who defend our country first instead of wasteful or duplicative projects that only benefit defense contractors and the Members of Congress they contribute to.
Fully-fund the VA system to shorten wait times and improve care while reforming critical gaps in service like a lack of dental benefits [especially] for veterans who live in rural areas.
Ensure that veterans have a strong advocate to fight for the benefits they have earned but have been wrongly denied.
