Who introduced PPARCCA in the House of Representatives and Senate?
The National Psoriasis Foundation worked with Rep. David Wu, D-Ore.-1st, to write and introduce H.R. 1188 in the House and as such, he is the bill’s “author” and sponsor. Rep. Jim Gerlach, R-Pa.-6th, is the first original co-sponsor of the bill and Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass.-9th, and Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, D-Fla.-20th, are the other original co-sponsors—meaning that they added their names to the bill immediately upon its introduction. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., introduced the “companion” version in the Senate (S. 1459) and is the sponsor there. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., is an original co-sponsor.
