Derrick Van Orden: Matches stated record claim
His campaign says he has demanded accountability from the VA and fought to protect veterans from foreclosure through the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act. He introduced that Act as H.R. 1815 on March 3, 2025, as its only sponsor, with no cosponsors. The House passed it by voice vote on May 19 and the Senate by voice vote on July 15. It became Public Law 119-31 on July 30, 2025, and authorises the VA to pay a loan holder the amount needed to avoid foreclosure, and to establish a partial claim programme. Limit: Both chambers passed the bill by voice vote, so no roll call records which members supported it. The law's effect on any individual foreclosure is not something this record can show — what it establishes is that the Act exists, that he alone introduced it, and that it was signed.
