This week, the Senate passed the Older Americans Act reauthorization, which includes portions of my bill, the Native ELDER Act.

Elders are the keepers of languages, cultures, traditions, and histories. They deserve the opportunity to age with dignity in their own communities. My bill helps make that possible by expanding in-home support, strengthening family caregiving, increasing Tribal capacity to deliver services, and ensuring Native voices help shape the Older Americans Act programs.

I’m proud to see this legislation advance and will keep working to ensure Native Elders have the support they deserve.
