On June 3-4, VHCA-VCAL members and staff will head to the annual AHCA/NCAL Congressional Briefing in Washington DC to meet with members of the Virginia Congressional delegation. Make plans now to join us! These visits are especially important this year with the shift in power in the House of Representatives to the Democrats and the number of freshman legislators in our delegation. VHCA-VCAL staff will take care of making all the arrangements for the Congressional visits and will accompany you to Capitol Hill.

VHCA-VCAL staff will work to make appointments with the members of the Virginia delegation who sit on key committees to long term and post-acute care (LT/PAC) providers including:

• Sen. Mark Warner – member of the Senate Finance Committee (oversees Medicare and Medicaid)
• Rep. Don McEachin (D-4^th) – member of the Energy and Commerce Committee (oversees Medicare and Medicaid)
• Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-9^th) – member of the Energy and Commerce Committee
• Rep. Don Beyer (D-8^th) – member of the Ways and Means Committee (oversees tax policy)

We also intend to meet with freshmen members of the delegation:

• Ben Cline (R-6^th)
• Elaine Luria (D-2^nd)
• Denver Riggleman (R-5^th)
• Abigail Spanberger (D-7^th)
• Jennifer Wexton (D-10^th)

While we know Rep. Cline and Rep. Wexton from the General Assembly, the others have not previously served in public office.
