I had an opportunity to meet with Mr. McDonald and question him in Committee, and during those conversations, Mr. McDonald committed to improving veterans’ access to care as well as improving the disability benefits claims backlog system. As a member of the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, I look forward to working with Mr. McDonald and holding him accountable to those promises so that Nevada veterans receive the benefits they earned and deserve.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
