“I welcome a scrutiny of my entire record.” — Robert Wilkie

I am opposed to the privatization of the Veterans Affairs Department and will continue to make sure the VHA is fully funded.

I experienced what can never be duplicated in the private sector - the communal aspect of VA.

When our veterans walk into any VA facility, they converse with men and women who speak the unique language of military service.

While I honor the soldiers in my family, and I am a student of history, the past is the past, and I do not live in the past.
