Today, Congressman Troy Downing’s (MT-02) H.R. 4495, the SBA Fraud Enforcement Extension Act, was reported favorably out of the House Committee on Small Business with bipartisan support, taking a critical step toward becoming law. The bill is now eligible for consideration before the full House of Representatives.
My experience as a veteran of the United States Air Force with two tours of duty in Afghanistan as a member of a combat search and rescue squadron gives me a clear understanding of the need for high-quality health benefits for our veterans. These programs serve as well-deserved compensation for their sacrifice, courage, and patriotism. Unfortunately, our veterans too often face many challenges, including restricted care options and poor mental health care.
So far, I have cosponsored several bills which, if passed, would directly benefit the military and veteran community. The AMERICANS Act reinstates over 8,400 service members who were wrongfully discharged during the Biden Administration's disastrous COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The Major Richard Star Act would expand financial support for combat-disabled veterans who retired from the military.
The Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act would safeguard the Second Amendment rights of veterans who receive assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Veterans’ Access Act of 2025 would enhance healthcare services through the VA by expanding community care options for our veterans. As your Member of Congress, I will work to ensure our military and veterans have an advocate in Washington to ensure they receive the support they have earned.
