Saratoga: Already today, we know that Taxin’ Tedra Cobb released a new veterans plan that copies and steals legislation that Congresswoman Stefanik wrote, passed, and was signed into law by President Trump in the FY18 National Defense Authorization Act.
“This election is a choice — a choice between a Far-Left resistance candidate who is incapable of coming up with her own ideas and my record of getting Real Results for the North Country,” said Stefanik. “While Taxin’ Tedra wants to steal and copy my bills making veterans’ healthcare more accessible and affordable, I have actually delivered these results. Our veterans answered our nation’s call and it is our responsibility and privilege to serve these men and women who selflessly served us. I have proudly recovered over $3.9 million in VA benefits for our North Country veterans during my time in Congress.
“Our veterans have unique healthcare needs and we need to be recruiting doctors, expanding access to care, eliminating red tape, and educating veterans on the care that is provided to them. These priorities are clearly demonstrated in my legislative work.”
Elise’s Results:
- Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019 Signed into law
