NEW ULM, MN – Congressman Brad Finstad (MN-01) hosted a roundtable discussion in Mankato with Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins and southern Minnesota veterans. Congressman Finstad and Secretary Collins heard directly from southern Minnesota’s veteran community, discussing how Congress can increase access to VA healthcare and enhance benefits. While in Mankato, Congressman Finstad and Secretary Collins also toured the Lyle C. Pearson Community-Based Outpatient VA Clinic and met with representatives of the Bravo Zulu House.
“Service members put their lives on the line in defense of our freedom,” said Rep. Finstad. “I appreciated the opportunity to hear from some of southern Minnesota’s veterans directly about how I can support them in Congress, especially when it comes to improving VA benefits and services systemwide. Thank you, Secretary Collins, for joining us in the First District to learn more about the resources we have to offer for our veteran communities and discuss how we can continue to serve those who have served our country.”
