house 02/18/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that veterans who served at the Nevada Test and Training Range between 1972 and 2005 receive the medical treatment they deserve by establishing a presumption of exposure to harmful radiation and toxins. This legislation aims to simplify access to necessary healthcare benefits for these veterans by acknowledging the environmental risks they faced during their service.

Recognizing service is one thing, but creating endless entitlements is another.
