Yesterday, the Congressional Celiac Disease Caucus was launched with the goal of advancing legislation that will support the needs of the celiac disease community and address the need for increased federal funding for celiac disease research. Importantly, it will work to raise awareness of celiac disease across congressional districts.
Introduced by Congresswoman Betty McCollum, this bi-partisan caucus will provide the impetus to address the needs of the celiac disease community directly.
Along with Congresswoman McCollum, the inaugural members of this caucus are Representatives Jake Auchincloss, Earl Blumenauer, Matt Cartwright, Madeleine Dean, Brian Fitzpatrick, Josh Gottheimer, Chrissy Houlahan, John Joyce, Tim Ryan, Mary Gay Scanlon, Glenn Thompson, David Trone and Susan Wild.
Our immediate goal is to increase the strength of this caucus by encouraging representatives to join the Congressional Celiac Disease Caucus.
Please contact your Congresspeople asking them to join the Congressional Celiac Disease Caucus asap if they haven't already!
