ICYMI: Senate Passes Senator Murray's Military Construction and VA Funding Bill, Including More Than $582 Million for WA State Projects

Statement

"The military construction and VA funding bill we passed through the Senate last week with overwhelming bipartisan support includes major investments that will benefit Washington state veterans and servicemembers--from improving living conditions at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and electrifying the shipyard at Naval Base Kitsap to upgrading VA medical centers and increasing funding for military family housing. The bottom line is: these resources are critical to providing high-quality health care to our veterans and ensuring we have world-class military infrastructure to support our servicemembers, and this legislation moves the ball forward in important ways even under tough funding constraints. I will be working hard to get this legislation--and the rest of our serious, bipartisan appropriations bills here in the Senate--signed into law."
