WASHINGTON, DC – The National Hispanic Leadership Agenda (NHLA), a coalition of 40 of the nation’s preeminent Latino advocacy organizations, supports the newly confirmed Secretary of Veterans Affairs, David Shulkin, and is encouraged by his ability to continue improving the state of veterans’ affairs in our nation. Secretary Shulkin has also vowed to improve accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs. NHLA is pleased by this commitment, particularly to the extent that Latinos comprise a large percentage of service men and women in our nation, including representing the largest single group of veterans under 34 years old.
