WASHINGTON, D.C. — Veterans for America First (VFAF) proudly announces its endorsement of Congresswoman Lisa McClain, recognizing her proven leadership and unwavering commitment to veterans, active-duty service members, military families, and a strong national defense.
As one of the nation's leading advocates for those who have worn the uniform, Congresswoman McClain has consistently advanced legislation and policies that improve the lives of veterans while strengthening America's military readiness.
Among her accomplishments, Congresswoman McClain authored the Patient Advocate Tracker Act to reduce Department of Veterans Affairs bureaucracy and improve veterans' access to care. She also leads the Veterans for Mustangs Act, which pairs veterans—particularly those battling PTSD—with meaningful therapeutic work managing America's wild horse populations.
Her leadership has extended to securing the Congressional Gold Medal for the 13 Abbey Gate fallen heroes, introducing legislation to expand national cemeteries, and fighting for full VA funding, including more than $152 billion for veterans' healthcare, benefits, and programs while supporting efforts to eliminate government waste.
A former member of the House Armed Services Committee, where she served on the Military Personnel and Readiness Subcommittees, Congresswoman McClain has consistently supported active-duty service members through strong votes for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), delivering military pay raises, quality-of-life improvements, family support initiatives, and critical military construction projects.
She is also an active member of the National Guard Caucus, USO Congressional Caucus, and Special Operations Forces Caucus, while remaining a strong advocate for critical military installations such as Selfridge Air National Guard Base.
Beyond legislation, Congresswoman McClain honors America's heroes through her Veteran of the Month Program, assists qualified students with military academy nominations, and has earned a reputation for aggressive constituent service on behalf of veterans and military families.
Veterans for America First recognizes Congresswoman McClain's willingness to confront the longstanding problems within the Department of Veterans Affairs and hold the agency accountable for delivering the care and benefits America's veterans have earned through their service.
Kimberly Taiko Moyers, Texas Executive Legislative Officer t of Veterans for America First State Chapter and the organization's National Vet Force Director, emphasized the importance of the endorsement.
"Like countless veterans I serve every day, I am furious with the VA's broken bureaucracy, delays, and failures. That outrage forced me to hire a full-time dedicated constituency service representative solely for VA cases to cut through the red tape and fight for every veteran who needs help. Congresswoman McClain shares that same fire, holding the VA accountable and refusing to let bureaucracy deny veterans and service members the care, benefits, and readiness they earned. As Chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, Lisa McClain is a proven, principled leader who puts veterans and America First every single day. Veterans and active-duty families deserve warriors like her in Congress."
Veterans for America First is proud to endorse Congresswoman Lisa McClain and encourages veterans, active-duty military families, and all Americans who varong national defense to support her continued service in Congress.
