A series of bills aimed at assisting veterans and farmers has passed in the U.S. Senate, and a Wisconsin legislator is calling it a big win.
Senator Tammy Baldwin helped construct the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Bill, which she says “fully funds veterans’ medical care and benefits and invests in critical national security infrastructure while implementing new provisions to hold the executive branch more accountable to deliver for our veterans.”
Also passed was the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Bill, which “fully funds WIC without benefits cuts, and delivers key funding for agricultural research and rural rental assistance.”
Baldwin says of the measures, “I worked with my Democratic and Republican colleagues to advance two bipartisan bills that address the needs of our farmers, veterans, and rural communities for the upcoming year. I’ll be working to protect this critical funding as we get these bills over the finish line in the House and passed into law.”
