Quiver AI Summary
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly has issued a statement in response to the Department of Veterans Affairs' announcement regarding workforce reductions, stating that nearly 30,000 jobs will be cut by the end of September. Kelly emphasized that these cuts would lead to "longer wait times for veterans in crisis," a decrease in available healthcare providers, and delays in veterans accessing their entitled benefits. He further highlighted concerns such as fewer crisis responders and mental health resources, which could result in heightened risks for veterans.
Senator Kelly underscored his commitment to opposing these staffing reductions, mentioning that he has actively advocated against such measures, including leading efforts to protect job security at the VA and introducing legislation aimed at reinstating veterans who faced wrongful termination.
