“My district, New Mexico's 2nd congressional district, which one of the highest rates of service per capita, including the highest rates amongst Native Americans, is home to almost 50,000 veterans.

And I'm honored to come before this committee today to advocate for them and the benefits they rightfully deserve for serving our country, as well as all the veterans enrolled in these benefits in all of our districts across the country.” (02:10–02:18)
