"I am incredibly grateful to the House Energy & Commerce Committee, who favorably reported the ACT for ALS, and to House leadership for ensuring that the bill finally receives a vote on the floor. For those who are impacted by this disease, there is simply no time to wait.

I cannot wait to stand on the House floor and cast my vote on behalf of every American who has championed this legislation."
