Washington
–
Today,
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
voted
in
support
of
our
next
Secretary
of
Veterans
Affairs,
David
Shulkin. He was
confirmed
by
the
Senate 100
to
0.
“For
far
too
long,
the
Department
of
Veterans
Affairs
has
fallen
short
of
providing
our
veterans
the
care
they
have
honorably
earned.
It
is
uplifting
and
refreshing
to
know
the
administration
has
tapped
a
longtime
health
professional
and
expert
to
lead
one
of
the
most
important
departments
in
our
government.
Mr.
Shulkin
is
a
distinguished
doctor
with
more
than
30
years
of
experience
who
will
be
able
to
provide
the
oversight
and
direction
much
needed
to
reduce
appointment
wait
times
for
patients,
improve
efficiency
at
VA
hospitals,
and
increase
the
number
of
healthcare
professionals
available
to
our
veterans.
I
look
forward
to
working
with,
and
supporting,
Mr.
Shulkin
as
he
assumes
his
new
role
and
responsibilities
as
head
of
our
Veterans’
Affairs.”
