U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison Questions Secretary of Veterans Affairs Amidst Plans to Cut 80,000 VA Jobs

May 16, 2025

WASHINGTON, DC – Yesterday, U.S. Representative Kelly Morrison (MN-03) questioned Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins on the Trump Administration’s plan to cut 15% of the VA workforce – over 80,000 jobs, putting veterans’ care and well-being at risk.

A member of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, Representative Morrison is opposed to the proposed cuts to the VA and believes that an arbitrary 15% cut in VA staffing will jeopardize the care of veterans who put their lives on the line for their country. 

Just this week, Representative Morrison met with frontline VA workers at the Minneapolis VA who were deeply concerned about proposed VA cuts, with one medical provider stating, “I question whether the Secretary actually cares about veterans.”

Representative Morrison is committed to providing the highest quality care for veterans and will keep fighting to ensure the VA is operating at full capacity and serving its veterans.
