Cathy McMorris Rodgers is Eastern Washington’s chief advocate in Congress and a rising star in American politics. Since first being elected to the House in 2004, she has earned praise on Capitol Hill for her bipartisan outreach. As someone who grew up on an orchard and fruit stand in Kettle Falls, Washington, worked at her family’s small business, and later became a wife and working mom of three, Cathy has lived the American Dream, and she works every day to rebuild that Dream for our children and grandchildren.
Cathy served as Chair of the House Republican Conference from 2012 to 2018. Cathy is a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, where she has been a strong advocate for affordable and accessible health care. Cathy worked in a bipartisan way on a proposal to lower the cost of prescription drugs. She won expanded support for the Spokane Teaching Health Center and community clinics to bring more doctors to rural and under served communities.
Her leadership has been recognized by numerous national policy organizations including the Sandy Hook Promise, National Rural Health Association, American Association of People with Disabilities, and Faith and Politics Institute.
As a mother of a son born with Trisomy 21, Cathy was inspired to become a leader in the disabilities community and has been a vocal, devote champion for disability issues in Congress. In 2014, she played an instrumental role in securing final passage of the ABLE Act, which was described as the most comprehensive piece of disability legislation since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In 2015, Cathy’s Steve Gleason Act was signed into law to provide a temporary fix to a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) policy that limited access to speech generating devices for people with ALS, like Spokane-native Steve Gleason, and other degenerative diseases. In 2018, Cathy’s Steve Gleason Enduring Voices Act was signed into law to make that fix permanent.
Cathy is dedicated to helping those with disabilities live their lives to the fullest.
