On Thursday, House Veterans Affairs’ Committee Chairman Jeff Miller endorsed Donald Trump for president.

"Donald Trump is the only person who has what it takes to shake up the status quo and entrenched bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.," Miller said in a news release. "I am more and more convinced that he has the ability to reach in and right the wrongs in the Department of Veterans Affairs once and for all.

“America needs Donald Trump and his conservative agenda to shore up and secure our borders and to rebuild our military," added Miller. "I stand today with Donald Trump, and l support his candidacy for president.”

Who will replace Jeff Miller?

"Miller is the kind of results-oriented person we need more of in Congress," Trump said. "He has uncovered scandals within the VA and the poor treatment of our veterans, and I applaud those efforts. But our veterans deserve better than an agency that has failed them, and I look forward to working with Jeff to make sure every veteran gets the kind of care they have earned and the kind of care they deserve."

Miller has represented Florida’s 1st Congressional District since 2001. Prior to being elected to represent the people of Northwest Florida in Washington, he served in the Florida State House. Since 2011, Miller has served as chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.
