Gov. Gianforte, U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy, and Rep. Troy Downing have responded to cuts at the Department of Veterans Affairs, which plans to decrease its workforce by 80,000 employees. The agency aims to return to 2019 staffing levels of under 400,000 workers. Gov. Gianforte commended President Trump and his cabinet for addressing ways to better serve veterans without cutting critical services. Sen. Sheehy emphasized the need to prioritize veterans’ care and services over bureaucracy, while also advocating for VA reforms to improve efficiency. Rep. Downing expressed his full support for veterans and highlighted the millions in savings generated by assessing staffing needs. He believes that future adjustments will enhance the VA’s efficiency, responsiveness, and accountability to Montana’s veteran community. The VA’s reorganization aims to streamline operations and redirect resources towards providing quality healthcare for veterans.
