U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is coming out with a new television commercial highlighting his bill to provide accountability to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

The 30-second spot, “Served,” features several veterans praising Rubio for writing and passing a bill for accountability at that department in 2014.

“Politicians always talk about how broken the VA is,” says Army veteran Myke Landers.

“But Marco Rubio actually did something about it,” adds Marine Corps veteran Steve Emerson.

“Marco has always been there for veterans,” says Navy veteran Crystal Nedik.

Rubio faces Bradenton homebuilder Carlos Beruff in the Aug. 30 Republican U.S. Senate primary.
