PTSD is a disorder that tens of thousands of Americans are diagnosed with every year. Sadly, our veterans and active-duty servicemembers are among those that face the toughest challenge. As a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, I was proud to work together with my colleagues across the aisle in addressing PTSD by introducing two pieces of legislation to help veterans get the mental healthcare they deserve. The Sgt. Ketchum Rural Veterans Mental Health Act, which will expand VA mental healthcare for veterans in rural areas, and I am now proud to co-sponsor the recently re-introduced Brandon Act, that will make it easier for veterans and servicemembers to seek confidential mental health resources. As members of Congress, we have the ability to take action and I urge all of my colleagues to support the mental health of our veterans and servicemembers through passing the Brandon Act. Thank you, I yield back my time. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |
