Senate fellowship program for wounded American veterans finds support in Washington Mon, 05/17/2021 - 1:00pm
WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Angus King (I-Maine), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is cosponsoring bipartisan legislation to establish a first-of-its-kind Senate fellowship program for wounded American veterans. The program, called the McCain-Mansfield Fellowship, would give each Senate office the opportunity to hire a qualified veteran for a two-year fellowship. The positions could be in a senator’s state or Washington, D.C., office.
The fellowship program’s name honors the late Arizona Senator John McCain, who was severely wounded and held as a POW while serving in the Vietnam War, and the late Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield who served during World War I.

Arizona Democratic senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly cosponsored the bipartisan resolution with Republicans Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio, among others. It aims to bring awareness to glioblastoma treatments and urges collaboration and continued investment in brain tumor research. A companion bill has also been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives.
