Today, I am going to attend a bill signing ceremony for a bill that I wrote to help the Veterans Administration hospital in Elsmere hire more doctors, so our veterans do not have to go on long waiting lists or travel long distances for important medical procedures.

This is one that I am really proud of.  I found out about a problem, figured out a good solution to it, gathered a bi-partisan group of legislators together to address it, and got a bill passed that put our solution into place.  No blaming, no drama, just working to get the people’s business done.  And I have been amazed at how closely many veterans have followed the bill—I get asked about it more often when I am campaigning than almost any other subject.

Delaware’s veterans have earned this much and more from us.
