Poor management was the central cause of Nevada\u2019s veterans being forced to wait so long for their disability benefits. It\u2019s time for the VA to address the state\u2019s VA claims backlog by naming a new director committed to fixing these issues at the Reno VARO. Delivering a high quality of care to America\u2019s veterans remains a top priority of mine, and I will continue striving to make the VA the very best it can be.\u201d\r\nAttached is a copy of the letter Senator Heller sent to the Reno VARO.\u00a0\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://www.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=503dbe04-1a11-4fe1-bcc0-d917581db417"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5441370196640491, "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"}
