Las Vegas, NV- President Barack Obama is expected to officially nominate Robert McDonald to serve as the next Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs today. Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada’s First District issued the following statement in response to McDonald’s nomination:  

“Mismanagement, poor transparency, and lack of accountability have plagued the VA for too long. These issues, along with the need for increased physicians, have kept our veterans from receiving the care they deserve in a timely manner. I look forward to meeting with Mr. McDonald to learn how he plans to address these systemic failures and implement the necessary measures to restore veterans’ trust in the VA system.”
