Kansas Senator Jerry Moran is preparing to take over as Chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee in January. His top issues will be suicide prevention and ensuring veterans get the care they deserve when suffering from cancer and other illnesses tied to toxic exposure. He says he will be leaning on veterans to help him set the committee’s agenda. He has served on the committee since joining the Senate in 2011 and says most of the veterans legislation he’s pursued has originated with Kansas veterans. He will replace retired Georgia GOP Senator Johnny Isakson.
