Bipartisan caucus welcomes new co-chairs Reps. Burgess, Fattah
Washington, Jan 30 | Jeff Sagnip ((202) 225-3765)
U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) , current co-chairs of the Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer’s Disease, announced today that Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) and Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA ) will join them as new co-chairs for the 114th Congress.
“I am pleased that Reps. Burgess and Fattah have agreed to bring their vision and expertise to our team,” said Rep. Smith, who in 1999 founded the Task Force with then-Rep. Ed Markey. “Alzheimer’s is a national epidemic, and more research, better treatments, and support for caregivers must remain a top priority. Both Rep. Burgess and Rep. Fattah have been vocal in raising awareness about this devastating illness, and in offering solutions to help alleviate its impact on American families. Maxine and I are pleased to welcome them to serve in leadership roles on the Task Force.”
