May 21, 2018

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last week, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced that S. 204 - the Trickett Wendler, Frank Mongiello, Jordan McLinn, and Matthew Bellina Right to Try Act of 2017 would be considered by the House of Representatives this week. Congressman Biggs released the following statement:

"S. 204 passed the Senate last summer unanimously, and I am happy that the House will be voting on this legislation later this week. Right to Try is a bipartisan law that will give immediate hope to countless men, women, and children facing terminal illnesses. I'm thankful to President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Senator Ron Johnson, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, my colleagues, and hundreds of advocates across the nation for their perseverance with this bill. I ask my colleagues to support S. 204 when it comes to the floor this week."
