President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to nominate former Georgia Congressman Doug Collins, who represented the 9th District, as the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA). Collins, who served as an Air Force reservist and chaplain, has been selected for his advocacy for military support and his firsthand military experience. His nomination, posted on social media by the Trump Transition Team, aims to streamline and cut regulations within the VA, root out corruption, and ensure veterans receive the benefits they've earned.
