Show Notes
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries visited Orange County to discuss key challenges facing veterans, including job cuts and tensions from the conflict with Iran. He emphasized the need for lawmakers to listen directly to veterans in their communities. A major focus was the long-awaited Southern California State Veterans Cemetery planned for Gypsum Canyon, with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs pledging ten million dollars in federal funding. Orange County, home to eighty-four thousand veterans, stands as the largest county in the state without its own cemetery. Jeffries vowed to push the cemetery project to completion and criticized the Trump administration for mass firings of federal workers, including veterans, and for escalating risks overseas.
