Dear Kevin,

We will be holding an event in the U.S. Capitol on January 15th to celebrate the bill???s reintroduction. We would like to announce the Representative as an original cosponsor of the bill at the event. Would you please confirm the Representative???s intention to be an original cosponsor on the legislation? We would be grateful for their leadership in helping ensure that all disabled Americans have the right to live in freedom. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Hello Kevin,
I emailed you a few weeks ago however I believe you were out of the office at the time, and as I???m sure you received many emails in that time, I wanted to reach out to you once more. I am writing as a member of the Disability Community and National ADAPT to first of all thank Representative Dingell for her prior sponsorship of the Disability Integration Act, and ask about the Representative???s intentions for sponsorship during the 116th Congress. On January 15th, we will be holding an event in the US Capitol to celebrate the bill???s reintroduction. We would like to announce the Representative as an original cosponsor of the bill at the event. Would you please confirm the Representative???s intention to be an original cosponsor on the legislation? We would be grateful for their leadership in helping ensure that all disabled Americans have the right to live in freedom. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Sophie Poost ??? ADAPT Organizer

Ellen Taverna, Stephanie Woodward and Gregg Beratan met with Kevin Dollhopf, Health LA, on 6/28/18. Kevin is confident Congresswoman Dingell will sign onto the DIA. She is a long supporter on disability issues and on the House Disabilities Caucus. Her husband (Former Congressman Dingell) utilizes a motorized scooter and she introduced the EMPOWER Care Act. We discussed other MI reps to approach. We???ll follow up in early July to make sure Dingell is a cosponsor.

ADAPT met with Kevin Dollhopf on May 16th. He seemed very positive about D.I.A. and commented that they were "preaching to the choir". Rep has backed other disability related legislation and ADAPT members were asked to follow up within a week. As ADAPT members were leaving, they even met with the representative in the hallway and she though she was already signed on to D.I.A.
