In just two short weeks, AHCA/NCAL members will gather in Washington, D.C. for the annual Congressional Briefing. These two days will be packed with networking and information. This year’s speakers from Congress include U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT), U.S. House of Representative Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA-05) and U.S. House of Representative Richard Hudson (R-NC-09).
Senator Jon Tester has been an advocate for long term care. He has led the fight in the Senate against the minimum staffing mandate, sending two letters to CMS. He is a cosponsor on Protecting American's Seniors' Access to Care Act (S. 3410/H.R. 7513), a bill stopping CMS from implementing the final rule.
As the second most senior member of the House Democratic Caucus, Katherine Clark will share insights and updates about the current legislative agenda. Proudly representing Massachusetts's 5th congressional district since 2013, her prominence is marked by an unwavering dedication to the lives of women and families. As one of only two women ever to serve as Whip, Clark currently holds the esteemed title of the highest-ranking woman in Congressional leadership.
Rep. Richard Hudson has served in Congress since 2013, representing North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District. He is a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee's Sub Committee on Health where he focuses on making health care more accessible and affordable. A champion of Social Security and Medicare protection and a strong supporter of the long term care profession, he was awarded the Guardian of Seniors' Rights Award by the 60 Plus Association.
We look forward to hearing from these dynamic members of Congress and seeing you at Congressional Briefing, June 3-4.
