San Diego – Today, Congressional candidate Carl DeMaio calls for VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign, citing the Secretary’s inability to maintain an environment in which our nation’s veterans can have confidence in the health care the VA provides.
DeMaio’s statement follows:
“It’s evident that Secretary Shinseki does not possess the ability to lead the VA in such a way that any member of the military or their family members can have confidence that they will be treated. The idea that even one veteran – let alone 40 – may have died as a result of having to wait inappropriate lengths to receive treatment is abhorrent and should not be tolerated or excused.
San Diego is home to some of the largest military installations in the world, and home to scores of former, current, and future servicemembers. It’s imperative that swift and immediate action be taken to ensure their health and well-being.”
