I helped found the Congressional Working Group on Parkinson’s Disease in February 1999 along with Representatives Fred Upton, Lane Evans, Joe Skeen, Mark Udall, Tom Udall, and Henry Waxman. Now called the Bicameral Congressional Caucus on Parkinson's Disease, this bipartisan Caucus works to increase awareness among Members of Congress on issues related to Parkinson's Disease, including improving the state of Parkinson's related research. I am a caucus co-chair with my colleagues, Representatives Fred Upton (R-MI), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Peter King (R-NY).
