"Robin and I send our sincerest congratulations to Doug and his entire family for this well-deserved nomination to serve in President Trump's Cabinet as the Secretary of the VA. Having served alongside Doug in Congress for many years, I have witnessed firsthand his commitment to fighting for those who have served this country in uniform, as he did. Our veterans and military families deserve the best after their selfless service and they could not ask for a better advocate in Washington.
