Morano introduces LGBTQ+ veterans oversight topic and nonpartisan advocacy
Morano introduces the oversight topic of programs and services for LGBTQ+ veterans, emphasizing that veterans' issues should be nonpartisan and highlighting bipartisan cooperation on the committee.
And today, our oversight hearing is on programs and services for LGBTQ plus veterans.
When I first took over this committee, I mentioned that, to me, veterans'issues were the one issue that should be and ideally would be totally nonpartisan.
Conservatives love talking about veterans'issues because it deals with patriotism, defending the country, all sorts of things that traditionally conservatives are all about.
A lot of progressives love focusing on veterans'issues because it gives them an opportunity to talk about health care and housing and all sorts of things that progressives are all about on a regular basis.
And to me, the thing that I love most about this committee is we have members on both sides of the political spectrum, and we are all rowing in the same direction to deliver for New Yorkers and especially for the veterans that have served.
