FROM REP. CLAUDIA TENNEY: Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today released her 2026 Veterans Plan, outlining a comprehensive agenda to strengthen support for America’s veterans, improve the Department of Veterans Affairs, and ensure servicemembers and their families receive the care, benefits, and recognition they have earned. America’s commitment to those who served does not end when they take off the uniform” or “America’s commitment to those who served does not end when they leave the service. Congresswoman Tenney’s Veterans Plan is centered on four priorities: increasing transparency and accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs, expanding access to quality healthcare, helping veterans successfully transition to civilian life, and honoring the service and sacrifice of America’s veterans. The plan advances policies to improve veterans’ access to benefits and mental health services, strengthen oversight of the VA, protect veterans from fraud, and preserve the memorials and traditions that recognize those who defended our nation. “The freedoms we enjoy every day were secured by Americans who were willing to put on the uniform and defend this country,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “Our obligation to those men and women does not end when their military service is over. Veterans deserve a VA that is accountable, healthcare they can rely on, and a government that keeps its promises. This plan is about making sure every veteran receives the respect, support, and opportunities they have earned through their service to our nation.”
