Great News: We now have Senate legislation!
Yesterday, Senator Gillibrand introduced the Huntington’s Disease Parity Act in the Senate. Our new bill number is S. 723. We also have two original cosponsors, Senator Blumenthal from Connecticut and Senator Tester from Montana. I will be sending out a general email shortly, but I wanted you to be the first to know. Please take a minute to email the Senate offices you met with, and ask them to become cosponsors of S. 723.

Making Strides in the House
We are also up to 24 cosponsors of H.R. 1015 in the House of Representatives. We have added several cosponsors from Advocacy Day, but I know that we are waiting on others, so please continue to follow up with the individuals whom you met with.

As always, please keep me in the loop, so that we can continue to follow up in Washington, and thank you for all the ways you speak up for HD.
Sincerely,
Jane
