She continues to work with both parties on legislation to help veterans transition into the civilian workforce and to support rapid search-and-rescue efforts to help locate at-risk veterans when they go missing or are experiencing a mental health crisis.
Work with both parties on legislation to help veterans transition into the civilian workforce.
Occurrences
Evidence
Senators Marco Rubio and Maggie Hassan reintroduced the bipartisan Veterans’ Education, Transition, and Opportunity Prioritization Plan (VET OPP) Act to prioritize veterans’ employment, transition, and education benefits at the VA. Hassan said the legislation would strengthen efforts to connect veterans to employment and education opportunities and that she looked forward to working on a bipartisan basis to build support for the bill and pass it into law.
Assessments
Hassan fulfilled the action promised: as a U.S. senator she worked across party lines with Republican Sen. Marco Rubio on the VET OPP Act, legislation aimed at prioritizing veterans' employment, transition, and education benefits at VA. The record shows bipartisan introduction and reintroduction during her Senate service, with companion House passage, which is enough for a promise framed as working with both parties on legislation rather than guaranteeing enactment. Because this occurred while she held the federal office relevant to the promise, timing is same_term.
