Dear John:

 

The Department of Veterans' Affairs has announced that it has processed more disability benefits compensation and pension ratings claims in a single year than ever before. The backlog of veterans waiting for their benefits is down 37% since President Trump has taken office. Not only that, but this year the VA has opened 16 new health care clinics, made it easier to access care from non-VA providers, and implemented major reforms to make it easier for survivors to get their benefits. This Administration, along with Republicans in both the House and Senate, are committed to serving those who serve this country, and I am proud to share these concrete examples of those promises in action.

 

If you or someone you know needs assistance navigating the VA and VA benefits, please reach out to my team, who is always there to help the constituents of Minnesota's 7th District.

 

 

Thank you, Little Falls!

I recently had the opportunity to spend a day in Little Falls, where I got to stop at many local businesses and talk to a number of people from the area.

We stopped by Reality Roasters where they roast their coffee beans locally. I was able to sample some freshly brewed coffee and learn more about the roasting process.

I learned about all that Great River Arts does for their community from offering classes to using their space for community events.

I toured the renovated Falls Theatre and got to learn all about its history.

Image

I saw all the goods being sold by regional small businesses and vendors when I went to the Shoppes of Little Falls.

As we were walking, we ran into Purva Watten from the Little Falls Chamber. Thank you for stopping to say, "hello!"

At Little Falls Bakery, I had a nice chat with the owners and learned more about their business.

Finally, I visited Ciao Thyme (I love the name), where Mayor Greg Zylka and Phil and Susy Prosapio told me about the improvements being made to the downtown area over the past few years.
