DelBene Forms Veterans Advisory Board

Statement

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) today announced the formation of a Veterans Advisory Board made up of local veterans who will advise her on ways the federal government can better serve veterans.

"It's our nation's responsibility to serve and care for those who bravely risked their lives and made painful sacrifices for our families and freedoms," DelBene said. "Too many veterans still aren't getting the support they need. I look forward to collaborating with my Veterans Advisory Board to tackle challenges like veteran homelessness, unemployment and barriers to healthcare. Together, we will work to ensure all our veterans are receiving the support and benefits that they deserve and have earned."

The board is composed of nine veteran leaders, who will meet quarterly to report feedback on issues important to the veteran community.
