U.S. Rep Lloyd Doggett Statement on General Shinseki Resignation

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), issued the following statement after the resignation of General Eric Shinseki, the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs:

“The focus should remain on getting significant improvement at the VA. Most who work at the VA, many vets themselves, care deeply for those they serve. We must not allow those who do not believe in our vets health system to use these incidents to undermine it. Let’s fix it, not break it. While General Shinseki is a decorated American patriot, who has offered important service to our country, I believe new leadership can more effectively secure prompt change and accountability."
