Shameful is the nicest word to describe how #BradFinstad treats #MN01 #Vets.
#RepFinstad did NOT even tweet out an acknowledgement of #NationalVietnamVeteransDay which reminds #Mankato that #FinstadFailsVeterans exemplified by inaction on #HR4794 (old #HR5365 which he said was critical in 2023)
#FinstadWatch
Commentator on #RepFinstad's Instagram post recognizes #BradFinstad's failure to serve #MN01 #veterans ... instead just offering #PhotoOps
FYI #RepFinstad has been "talking" about a #VetCenter in #Mankato since Sept 8 2023
#HR4794 #HR5365 Still NO cosponsors or #VA Committee action
#FinstadWatch
#MN01 #Vets are wondering WHY #RepFinstad has FAILED to garner any co-sponsors and hold a hearing on #HR4794 to authorize the Secretary of #VeteransAffairs to enter into a lease for a #Vet Center in #Mankato
... been waiting since Sept 8 2023

#RepFinstad has been a bitter disappointment for #MN01 #Veterans.
Case in point - on 09/08/2023, he authored #HR5365 Mankato Vet Center Lease Authorization Act which was ignored by his colleagues
So on 08/01/2025, he re-introduced it as #HR4794 and still has ZERO cosponsors and no committee action
It is a pretty safe bet that #RepFinstad will embrace #Vets on #VeteransDay2025, but won't want to answer questions about WHY he has NOT gotten any co-sponsors on #HR4794 to authorize funding for a Vet Center in #Mankato to provide community-based counseling to #veterans.

#RepFinstad touted his serious commitment to #veterans ... including re-introducing #HR4794 to lease a #MankatoVetCenter for 2025 & 2026 cost $1.4 million ... never mentions that 4 days earlier the House VA approved a 20 year lease for Puerto Rico $116,889,000
