That’s why tonight we’ve brought together members from both sides of the aisle – to show our commitment to solving this problem together and finding real solutions for our veterans.” Congresswoman Sinema introduced the Sergeant Daniel Somers Classified Veterans Access to Care Act to fix VA mental health care and ensure veterans with classified experiences have appropriate access to mental health services. The bill passed the House of Representatives in February. “No one who returns home from serving our country should ever feel like he or she has nowhere to turn,” said Congresswoman Sinema. “I am committed to working on both sides of the aisle to ensure no veteran feels trapped like Sgt. Somers did and all our veterans have access to appropriate mental health care.” Watch here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
