Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement regarding the resignation of Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki:
“The resignation of Secretary Shinseki is an important step toward achieving accountability at the VA. The agency is in desperate need of stronger, more aggressive leadership. I encourage the president to appoint a new secretary capable of overhauling this entrenched bureaucratic culture focused on promoting all the wrong priorities. This is also an opportunity for us to seriously reconsider the way we deliver care to our veterans and explore ways to restructure the agency to better fulfill its mission. The first priority must be finding a way to quickly deliver care to those veterans who have been waiting. Our veterans have stepped up and answered the call to serve; it’s our duty to step up and ensure they have high quality, efficiently delivered care.”
