President-elect Trump announced on Thursday his intent to nominate former Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., to serve as secretary of Veterans Affairs.
‘Doug is a Veteran himself, who currently serves our Nation as a Chaplain in the United States Air Force Reserve Command, and fought for our Country in the Iraq War,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social. ‘We must take care of our brave men and women in uniform, and Doug will be a great advocate for our Active Duty Servicemembers, Veterans, and Military Families to ensure they have the support they need. Thank you, Doug, for your willingness to serve our country in this very important role.’
Shortly after Trump made the announcement, Collins posted to X that he was ‘honored’ to accept the nomination.
‘Our heroes deserve the best care and support,’ Collins wrote. ‘We’ll fight tirelessly to streamline and cut regulations in the VA, root out corruption, and ensure every veteran receives the benefits they’ve earned.
‘Together, we’ll make the VA work for those who fought for us,’ he added. ‘Time to deliver for our veterans and give them the world-class care they deserve.’
