In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“Everything this administration has done since Trump took power, from pushing privatization of VA to enacting a near-total ban on abortion care, is directly harming the veterans we're supposed to serve. As the lead Democrat on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, I will do everything I can to defend every veteran's access to culturally competent care, including LGBTQ+ veterans.”
Top House Veterans Affairs leader pledges action after Trump ends LGBTQ+ care network for those who servedJul 24, 2026 · Press · The Advocate · source
“Shuttering the LGBTQ+ Veteran Care Coordinator program is just the latest cruel attack by the Trump administration on our nation's veterans.”
Top House Veterans Affairs leader pledges action after Trump ends LGBTQ+ care network for those who servedJul 24, 2026 · Press · The Advocate · source
“This is a landmark day for protecting the sacred right to vote for the thousands of servicemembers, military families, and veterans who depend on mail-in ballots. In 1864, at the height of the Civil War, servicemembers voted from their military camps, proof that even in our nation's darkest hours, we found a way to make our servicemembers' voices heard. In 2026, that right must be equally protected.”
Ranking Member Takano Believes in Protecting Veterans' Right to VoteJun 29, 2026 · Official · House Committee on Veterans' Affairs (press release) · source
“Veterans have demanded an end to the wounded veterans' tax for years, and we are five signatures away from forcing a clean vote on the Major Richard Star Act. Then Republicans introduced this package. The timing tells you everything: this is a distraction. Worse, it's a distraction veterans would pay for. The Republican plan cuts existing veterans' benefits to fund new ones—asking the next generation of veterans to pick up the tab for the last. That's not progress; that's a shell game that takes money out of veterans' pockets.”
Ranking Member Takano Warns Against Republican Bid to Strip Veterans of Their Disability BenefitsJun 11, 2026 · Official · House Committee on Veterans' Affairs (press release) · source
