Fully funded and staffed VA; including mental health

I am committed to fight for a VA that is fully funded, fully staffed, and accessible to veterans wherever they are. That means making sure all veterans have more accessible transportation options available to them. It also means ensuring that veterans have access to the most up-to-date and effective treatments, including for mental health conditions like PTSD and depression. Mental health treatment must be a priority if we are to reduce the staggering number of veteran suicides. Source: 2018 NM-2 House campaign website XochForCongress.com , May 11, 2020

Invest in Northern Triangle to relieve refugee problem

Torres Small, who is a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, voiced a concern about "the lack of leadership" in the Department of Homeland Security in the wake of the resignation of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. But she voiced optimism based on her conversations with Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan."We talked about potential ways we can work together," Torres Small said. "I pressed him about the need to invest in the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador)." Source: Albuquerque Journal on 2019 NM-2 House incumbent , Apr 20, 2019
