Richard Ojeda, a retired Army major with 24 years of service and combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, is the Democratic nominee in North Carolina's 9th congressional district. Tim Boivin, Steph Money, Keith Davies, and Bryan C. Winter press him on what roughly 30,000 lost VA positions have done to care, the 35-day wait for a mental health appointment, the Oracle records system, war powers, and his own record in West Virginia. 50501 Veterans does not endorse candidates.
