During a nomination hearing for Don Bergin as VA Assistant Secretary of Congressional and Legislative Affairs, Moran questioned how Bergin would enhance transparency if confirmed: "Increased transparency and timely communication between VA and Congress is essential to improving the lives of veterans nationwide.
