“It’s crucial I meet firsthand with those representing Montana’s veteran community,” said Rehberg.  “That way I can ensure I have the proper insight and information to make a case for funding their priorities.  I look forward to continuing to be a strong advocate for veteran’s issues in the coming year.”

          Last year, as the only member of the Montana delegation on the Appropriations Committee, Rehberg helped secure a $6.7 billion increase in the Veterans Affairs budget, the largest single increase in its 77 year history.
