In Congress, he is working to increase investment in veterans’ medical care and improve the Department of Veterans Affairs so that it delivers high-quality, effective, and timely service.
Work to increase investment in veterans' medical care and improve the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Occurrences
I would also like to thank Representatives Mackenzie and Jackson for their work on legislation addressing brain injury and mental health issues affecting veterans.
My bill would fill geographic gaps in access, ensuring that when V.A. facilities are not realistically accessible, veterans can still receive care closer to home.
Evidence
All actions for H.R.4509 show the bill was introduced by Rep. Greg Landsman and then had a House Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Health hearing on 2026-01-13; the tracker still shows the bill status as Introduced.
GovInfo's bill record states that Mr. Landsman introduced H.R. 4509, 'to amend title 38, United States Code, to ensure that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs furnishes certain non-opioid pain medications to veterans,' and that it was referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
The committee hearing included Rep. Greg Landsman as an approved participant, and the hearing materials list his 'Veterans Health Desert Reform Act of 2025,' described as a bill to pilot VA partnerships with non-VA hospitals in areas where care is lacking so veterans can receive care closer to home.
Assessments
Landsman made concrete same-term legislative efforts related to veterans' medical care and VA improvement, including introducing H.R. 4509 and participating in committee activity on VA access reforms. However, the cited bills and hearing activity do not show enacted funding increases, implemented VA reforms, or a completed policy outcome. Because the promise was framed as working toward increased investment and VA improvement, these actions merit partial credit rather than full delivery.
