    I've seen firsthand Air Force Sec Heather Wilson's leadership for our men and women in uniform - she would make a great Secretary of Defense and make our country proud.

    The best choice for SecDef would also be the nation's first woman to hold that distinction - Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson. AF Academy grad, veteran, Rhodes Scholar, member of Congress, and a fighter for our men and women in uniform.

    W/approx 20 veteran suicides daily in the US the lack of outreach by the ⁦⁦⁩ is simply unacceptable. I'm profoundly disappointed to learn the VA has fallen short in fulfilling this responsibility. We can & must do better for our vets.

    The 2018 Farm Bill was a must-do and a big-win for Iowa. The 2018 Farm Bill will strengthen conservation programs, provide critical mental health support to the agriculture community, support our nation’s dairy farmers and maintain a robust crop insurance program.

    It’s unacceptable when the VA fails in delivering for our vets. With my support, the Senate acted to ensure the VA fully reimburses our vets for any missed or underpaid housing benefits they are owed. We owe our vets the support they were promised.
