Kirsten Gillibrand spoke at Military Park in Buffalo on November 11, 2026, addressing veterans' health issues and toxic chemical exposure. She stated that while the PACT Act provides benefits for sick veterans exposed to toxic substances, it does not go far enough. Gillibrand is introducing the "Toxic Exposure and Women's Veterans Health Outcomes Act" to address issues like infertility, premature menopause, and birth defects for the next generation of veterans.
