Modernize the Department of Veterans Affairs
Modernize the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Occurrences
Allow veterans to choose the doctor the doctor they want, in the community where they live.
Streamline the bureaucracy, making it easier for veterans to receive the benefits they have earned.
Evidence
Balderson's current veterans issue page says he will advocate for policies serving veterans and military families and emphasizes timely delivery of services and care, but it does not show a completed VA modernization action in the lookback window.
The House Veterans' Affairs Committee scheduled a March 18, 2026 legislative hearing that included a discussion draft 'to provide for the modernization of the electronic health record system and other health information technology activities and systems of the Department of Veterans Affairs.'
Assessments
The record does not show Balderson personally delivering a completed modernization of the Department of Veterans Affairs. VA modernization, especially electronic health record modernization, has continued during his House service, and he has taken some related oversight/advocacy actions, including public accountability efforts and veterans-service advocacy. However, the concrete modernization activity appears mainly driven by VA and committee processes rather than by Balderson-authored or Balderson-sponsored enactment. This supports partial credit, not full delivery.
