[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) announced today that he will become the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs during the upcoming Congress:

“As the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs I’ll have the honor and leadership opportunity to protect and expand the care and benefits that veterans need and deserve. They’ve earned – and should receive – better healthcare, expanded access to education, increased job training opportunities, and more. I thank Chairman Tester for his great work, and I will seek to continue it, especially on implementing the PACT Act. I look forward to working closely with Senator Moran, who has been a terrific legislative partner in the past, and who has shown a deep commitment to serving our nation’s veterans.”
