Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee Mike Bost (R-Ill.), and members from Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs) joined Emmer and Price to discuss legislation impacting the veteran community.\n\n\u201cBruce\u2019s selfless service to Minnesota\u2019s veterans and their families is commendable,\u201d said Emmer. \u201cHis years of dedication and advocacy on behalf of Minnesota\u2019s veteran community have made a lasting impact on so many. House Republicans will continue pushing legislation that gives veterans and their families the care and assistance they\u2019ve earned.\u201d\n\n\u201cI am honored to represent Minnesota\u2019s veterans and to join Congressman Emmer and members of House leadership at the roundtable discussion highlighting policies supporting veterans,\u201d said Price. \u201cThank you to Congressman Emmer and his colleagues for their continued work to stand with veterans and ensure we have excellent and accessible health care and resources.\u201d\n\nBackground\n\nBruce Price served in the United States Army for 24 years prior to serving his fellow veterans and their families for nearly a decade as the Sherburne County Veterans Service Officer (VSO). As the Sherburne County VSO, Price partnered with Emmer and his office to provide assistance and service to local veterans.\n\nStanding for our nation\u2019s veterans is a top priority for Congressman Emmer. In July, he introduced the nonpartisan Veterans Burial Accountability Act to eliminate needless delays in veteran burials. This commonsense reform ensures that no veteran's family will be denied closure \u2013 or forced to endure uncertainty \u2013 when burying one of our nation\u2019s heroes.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://emmer.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/emmer-and-sherburne-county-veteran-participate-in-house-leadership-veteran-stakeholder-roundtable"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7039291560649872, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
