April 3, 2018 - Gwinnett Citizen

Letter to the Editor

April 3, 2018

I’m writing to thank Congressman Rob Woodall for voting “Yes” on the most recently passed Omnibus Budget bill. Certainly, there were things in the bill I did not like, and things I wish could have been included. And I’m sure the congressman felt the same way. But there was more good than bad in my opinion. And there was one particularly important part of the bill that I know the congressman supported. That was the $414m in increased funding for Alzheimer’s disease research.
