Delivering for Arizona Veterans
Coming from a military family – and as a member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee – Kyrsten takes personally the government’s obligations to our veterans, and she is working across the aisle to improve veterans’ health care, expand veterans’ education and job opportunities, and hold the VA accountable. Kyrsten led the charge to reform the VA by championing the VA Accountability Act and the VA Choice Act in the U.S. House of Representatives, both of which were signed into law. She worked with the family of SGT Daniel Somers, an Arizona veteran who lost his life to suicide, to introduce and successfully pass into law the SGT Daniel Somers Classified Veterans Access to Care Act, which ensures veterans who serve in a classified capacity can get private counseling from the VA, and she has worked to address challenges at the Phoenix VA. She has pledged to work every day to ensure Arizona’s veterans get the care and benefits they’ve earned.
