Alzheimer's disease is a growing public health crisis, affecting countless families across our country and state. I have seen firsthand the devastating toll this illness takes on individuals, their loved ones, and the dedicated caregivers who support them. I have made it a legislative priority to raise awareness, expand access to critical resources, and improve services for those providing care. By advocating for increased support, education, and funding, we can work toward a future where families facing Alzheimer's receive the assistance and dignity they deserve.
