Co-sponsor the Expanding Care for Veterans Act (H.R. 1963)
Veterans of all service eras often face a number of service-connected health conditions that require continuous treatment. As many as 300,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans – nearly 20 percent of returning troops – are coming home with symptoms associated
with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or depression, according to a 2008 study by the RAND Corporation.[1] Further, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), 60 percent of veterans returning from the Middle East and 50 percent of older veterans
are managing chronic pain.[2] Repeated studies have shown that in response to this crisis, the VA increased the use of prescription medication for pain management.[3] Tragically, the agency treated more than 66,000 veterans with opioid-use disorders in Fiscal
Year 2016.

Cosponsor the Help Extract Animals from Red Tape (HEART) Act of 2019
Animals seized under federal animal fighting and gambling statutes are currently treated as evidence by our legal system, held by the government until courts determine their disposition. Lengthy forfeiture cases leave these abused animals in shelters for
months, unable to be rehabilitated or put up for adoption, where chronic stress leads to even greater serious physical and behavioral deterioration, even when shelters provide the highest quality care.
