President-elect Donald Trump has picked Doug Collins, a lawyer, veteran, and former congressman, to lead the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
“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!” Trump wrote in a statement on the pick.
Collins was deployed to Iraq during the Iraq War. In 2020, he unsuccessfully ran against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) to fill that Senate seat.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
