    Congressional Leaders and Advocates Unite to Push for ALS Research and Patient Support

    Washington D.C. – October 1, 2025 – Congressman Eric Swalwell recently convened a significant meeting with actor Eric Dane and ALS advocate Brian Alsorg to address the pressing need for progress in combating Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The discussion, held in a congressional office, focused on multifaceted approaches to tackle the neurodegenerative disease, including increased investment in innovative treatments, ensuring equitable access to quality care for patients, and bolstering support for both affected families and dedicated researchers. A key point of the meeting was the upcoming reauthorizing bill aimed at advancing ALS initiatives. Participants expressed optimism for overwhelming bipartisan support for this legislative effort. Eric Dane, known for his acting career, shared a deeply personal connection to the cause, stating, "ALS is the last thing you want to diagnose anybody with. I have two daughters, and I want to see them graduate college, get married, maybe have grandkids. I want to be there for all that, so I'm gonna fight to the last breath on this one." His emotional appeal underscored the human impact of ALS and the urgency of finding solutions. Congressman Swalwell affirmed his commitment, assuring the advocates, "We're all in it with you." The meeting concluded with a shared resolve to continue advocating for legislative action and broader public awareness.
