In recent years, Congress has made Alzheimer's and all other dementia a national priority. Throughout her career, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) has distinguished herself as a leader in the fight against this devastating disease. She has advanced legislation that improves dementia care and support and made a difference in the lives of not only those with the disease, but also their caregivers.

Congresswoman Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) has been a steadfast champion in the fight against Alzheimer's and other dementia. Her dedication to the Alzheimer's community, including her leadership on ensuring access to FDA-approved Alzheimer's treatments and support of historic federal research funding, has been invaluable.
