Close child care gaps for military families
Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL-5) led the charge in calling on the Pentagon to close child care gaps for military families. Waltz teamed up with Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM-1). "Single military parents and dual-military couples with children face added challenges
given their essential roles at work and no additional help at home. Military-civilian couples fear the civilian spouse may be forced to quit their job to take care of their children, jeopardizing the financial stability of those families," they wrote.

Allow VA funds for tribal care for Native American veterans
A bill Haaland co-led to improve health care access for Native American veterans passed the House and moves to the Senate. The Health Care Access for Urban Native Veterans Act, introduced by Ro Khanna, would provide the Department of
Veterans Affairs authority to reimburse coverage for care that Native American veterans receive at Urban Indian Organizations. This legislation would help Native American veterans acquire culturally competent care, relieving the burden on the VA system.

The Veterans deserve good health care and help finding jobs
Both of my parents were Veterans, and my dad is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Our country must live up to the promises made to our Veterans in exchange for their service and their lives.
All veterans deserve good health care, including mental health services, and support to transition into civilian jobs.
