President-Elect Donald Trump has named former U.S. Senate candidate from Nevada Sam Brown, to serve as the next Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Brown, a retired U.S. Army captain injured in the line of duty, lost his 2024 bid for U.S. Senate against incumbent Senator Jacky Rosen.
In a statement on X Brown thanked the president-elect, saying "I am grateful and accept this opportunity to put Duty First and continue my service to America."
Brown additionally assured fellow veterans that "I've got you!"
In announcing his selection of Brown, the president-elect called him "an American HERO, a Purple Heart recipient, and successful businessman from Nevada, who has devoted his life to serving America. He fearlessly proved his love for our Country in the Army, while leading Troops in battle in Afghanistan and, after being honorably retired as a Captain, helping our Veterans get access to emergency medications."
