However, as an American citizen, her gratitude runs 365 days a year. “My family and I give thanks every day for the men and women who serve, and who have served in the past,” Rep. Love said. “In Congress, I am their advocate. I proudly introduce and support every veteran-related bill that I can in the House. We must keep the promises we made to our veterans.” Rep. Love added: “Veterans – I’ve got your back.” Congresswoman Love’s support is reflected in her legislative record. Here is a list of all the veteran bills she has sponsored in the 115th Congress Session: Sponsored: · H.R. 1495 – would end unfair collections practices triggered by a technicality in veterans’ benefits law. This would ensure no families have to endure the hardship of having to return benefits following the death of a loved one. · H.R. 2555 - Requires each VA medical facility director to annually certify compliance with scheduling directives, and would make six additional VA Deputy Under-Secretary positions subject to Senate confirmation.

Con. Res. 45 - The resolution expresses the sense of Congress that those who served in the bays, harbors, and territorial seas of the Republic of Vietnam during the period from January 9, 1962 – May 7, 1975, should be presumed to have been exposed to the toxin Agent Orange and should be eligible for all related Federal benefits associated with the Agent Orange Act of 1991 · H.R. 1928 – Ensures the immediate payment of military death benefits to survivors of fallen servicemembers during federal government shutdowns or any time federal spending lapses · H.R. 3832 – Aims to reduce opioid addiction by directing Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary David Shulkin to connect VA health care providers to a national network of state-based prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs).
