DAV Washington Headquarters Executive Director Randy Reese today released the following statement on the confirmation of Doug Collins as VA Secretary:

DAV is pleased that the Senate confirmed Doug Collins as the 12th Secretary of Veterans Affairs. As fellow veterans, we look forward to seeing him carry out sensible reforms that enable VA to deliver high-quality, timely health care and other benefits to our brothers- and sisters-in-arms. His confirmation to this critical role signals congressional confidence in his ability to make the federal government work as it should for America’s veterans, and we hope to see additional nominations and confirmations for other senior VA leaders take place as expeditiously as possible. DAV looks forward to working closely with Secretary Collins and his staff to strengthen the VA for the millions of veterans, families, caregivers and survivors it serves, and ensuring that it can continue doing so for generations to come.
