    About our Doug Collins news

    Latest news on Doug Collins, US Secretary of Veterans Affairs, covering Trump administration veterans policy, military service record as Air Force chaplain, and Georgia political career.

    Douglas Allen Collins was confirmed as the 12th United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs on 4 February 2025, with strong bipartisan support in a 77-23 Senate vote. A former U.S. Representative from Georgia and Air Force Reserve chaplain holding the rank of colonel, Collins brings both legislative experience and military service background to his new role leading the Department of Veterans Affairs.

    Collins's confirmation marks a significant shift in veterans affairs leadership under the Trump administration. His appointment has received support from various veterans' organizations, though some have noted his previous voting record on veterans' healthcare initiatives. As a member of Congress, Collins served on the House Committee on Defense and Veterans Affairs, where he worked on legislation affecting military personnel and veterans.

    Beyond his political career, Collins's personal connection to military service runs deep. Having served as a Navy chaplain in the late 1980s, he later joined the Air Force Reserve following the September 11 attacks and was deployed to Balad Air Base during the Iraq War. This firsthand experience with military service has shaped his understanding of veterans' needs and challenges.

    Collins's journey to his current position began in Gainesville, Georgia, where he was born to a state trooper father. After earning degrees from the University of North Georgia, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and Atlanta's John Marshall Law School, he served in the Georgia House of Representatives before being elected to Congress in 2012. Throughout his career, he has maintained strong ties to both the military and veteran communities.

    Our Âé¶¹´«Ã½ feed provides comprehensive coverage of Collins's leadership at the Department of Veterans Affairs, including policy initiatives, reforms, and their impact on America's veterans. Stay informed about the latest developments in veterans' healthcare, benefits, and services through our regularly updated coverage from reliable sources across the country.
