REP. BOEBERT VOTES TO INCREASE FUNDING FOR VETERANS’ BENEFITS

Congresswoman Lauren

BOEBERT

BY OVER $1.5

VOTED TO INCREASE FUNDING FOR VETERANS’ BENEFITS

BILLION more than the discretionary funding level containing in the Democrats’ Appropriation’s bill last year. Additionally, the Appropriations bill contained six of Congresswoman Boebert’s amendments that passed the House yesterday with unanimous, bipartisan consent to redirect an additional $13,000,000 to directly assisting veterans.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “My support for the members of our military does not end when their service is complete. Colorado is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the Nation—many of whom reside in rural areas. I work every day to deliver results for these heroes who have entrusted me to be their Representative in Congress. I have a strong record supporting our veterans. This week alone, I passed six amendments through the House to increase funding for veterans’ care by $13,000,000 and voted to increase funding for veterans’ benefits by over $1.5 billion.

I have also returned over $506,000 to veterans in Colorado’s Third District via constituent casework, voted for the VA Transparency and Trust Act of 2021, voted for the Tuition

Fairness for Survivors Act, helped restart Honor Flight after the pandemic, helped reopen the National Personnel Records Center, and voted for and cosponsored legislation that helps our veterans.”
