Our organizations are deeply appreciative of the continued investments Congress has made into basic kidney science research at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and other key institutes, as well as the investment in innovation through KidneyX. As you continue responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that you provide $100,000,000 in emergency supplemental funding for NIDDK and $200,000,000 for KidneyX to meet the unique challenges facing people with kidney diseases for the current and future crises. People with kidney diseases are among the most vulnerable to infectious diseases and there is mounting evidence that COVID-19 poses a unique risk: hospitalized COVID-19 patients with kidney diseases are two and half times more likely to die from the virus1. The risks posed by COVID-19 are especially salient among people with kidney failure receiving in-center dialysis or living with a kidney transplant2.

  • December 2, 2020 the Honorable Richard Shelby the Honorable
    December 2, 2020 The Honorable Richard Shelby The Honorable Patrick Leahy Chairman Vice Chairman Committee on Appropriations Committee on Appropriations United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Roy Blunt The Honorable Patty Murray Chairman Ranking Member Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Services, and Education Appropriations Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Shelby, Vice Chairman Leahy, Chairman Blunt, and Ranking Member Murray: We write to request the Committee’s support for our request to protect state and school district participation in the Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) in its fiscal year 2021 appropriations bill. REAP is the only dedicated federal funding stream for supporting rural schools. Since 2003, the Department of Education has permitted states to qualify for funding from the Rural Low-Income Assistance Program based on data measuring participation in the federal Free and Reduced-Price Lunch program as an alternative to the U.S. Census Bureau’s poverty data. The Free and Reduced-Price Lunch program is a widely used, comprehensive measure of poverty among school-aged populations. Earlier this year, the Department abruptly announced that it would no longer accept the poverty measurements it had received from participating states in years past, threatening the eligibility and funding for schools in our states and without any notification to Congress. This change would have excluded nearly 200 school districts from the Rural Low Income Schools Program, creating a funding cliff for rural schools already balancing tight budgets. We appreciate the Subcommittee bringing this issue to the attention of Secretary DeVos during its hearing on the fiscal year 2021 education budget in March.

  • Antonia Ferrier, Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell
    Antonia Ferrier, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Named in The Washington Post as “one of the top Republican message gurus on Capitol Hill,” Ms. Ferrier has successfully implemented legislative and communications strategies for Republican Members of Congress in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. As Staff Director of the Senate Republican Communications Center (SRCC), Antonia Ferrier brings over a decade’s worth of Capitol Hill, communications and campaign experience to bear in advancing Senate Republicans’ messaging and agenda. She took a leading role in an effective communications strategy on tax reform, working closely with the Trump administration and outside groups to demonstrate the merits of the legislation to the American people. The SRCC is a critical part of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) communications’ operation; it mimics an offensive, campaign-style war room built on the fundamentals of research, rapid response, booking, creative and social media. It also is a central offensive messaging operation for all Senate Republicans. Prior to joining the SRCC, Ms. Ferrier was a Vice President at Forbes-Tate, a bipartisan, Washington, DC government affairs firm where she served a wide array of clients, including Fortune 500 companies, mostly in the tax and health care space. For over four years, Ms. Ferrier was as Senior Advisor and Communications Director to Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Orrin Hatch (R-UT), playing a critical role in legislative battles over tax, trade and health care policy. Before returning to the Senate, Ms. Ferrier spent close to three years in House Republican leadership – first for Republican Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) and then for Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH).

This language, which is included in the House-passed bill, would allow for Title X to continue serving a critical role in ensuring that over four million low-income women and men and adolescents have access to comprehensive family planning and preventive health care services each year. Title X is the only federal program exclusively dedicated to providing low-income and adolescent patients with access to family planning and preventive health services and information. Federally funded Title X facilities provide access to health and cancer screenings, well woman exams, contraception, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections. It is of utmost importance that the integrity of the Title X program is preserved and that Congress reject any efforts that limit access to medically accurate information or interfere in the patient-provider relationship.
