Quinn Slaven

When the VA answers a reporter's question, this is the name on the statement.

Capitol Hill communications staffer — communications director for Rep. Brad Knott, content director for Rep. Elise Stefanik, communications director for Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer — who became VA Press Secretary in April 2026, succeeding Peter Kasperowicz. He is the second press secretary of this administration.

Accountable for: the department’s public statements — including, in October 2026 alone, VA’s responses on the physician-shortage reporting and on the $17 billion EHR contract increase that drew bipartisan subpoenas. When this site’s letters draw a response, it will likely carry his name.

On video: none of his own; he is a statement spokesperson.
