As the proud home to Fort Drum, the Navy’s Kesselring Site, the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base, and more veterans and retirees than any other Congressional District in New York State, critical, high-quality care for our veterans is of the utmost importance and much needed.
I am proud to help introduce a bill to permanently reauthorize the Highly Rural Veterans Transportation Program along with my colleagues Rep. Don Young (R-AK) and Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH).
This bill will ensure the Highly Rural Veterans Transportation Grant Program is permanently funded so veterans in the North Country and rural areas across America continue to receive the care they both need and deserve.
