Rubio Supports VA Secretary, Reaffirms His Commitment to Serving Veterans
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after voting to confirm Denis McDonough to be the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
“We can never repay the debt we owe to our nation’s veterans, but we must make sure they receive the care and resources they deserve,” Rubio said. “Denis McDonough has spent his career working in public service at the highest levels, and he has committed to improving the quality of care that our veterans receive. I look forward to working with Mr. McDonough to ensure he upholds our commitments to our veterans.”
Senator Rubio has long been committed to assisting veterans and improving the Veterans Affairs Department.
