Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Cory Gardner (R-CO) today reintroduced the RACE for Children Act (Research to Accelerate Cures and Equity for Children Act), legislation supporting the development of innovative and promising cancer drugs for children. U.S. Representatives Michael T. McCaul (R-TX), G. K. Butterfield (D-NC), Sean Duffy (R-WI), and Yvette Clarke (D-NY) introduced the companion bill in the House.

"Pediatric cancer impacts too many families in Florida and across the nation, including my own,” said Rubio. “I am proud to reintroduce the RACE for Children Act, which would encourage more treatment options for children battling against cancer. This bill ?takes a further step in extending medical advances in adult cancer treatment to children fighting this horrific disease. I am especially honored to reintroduce this bill on behalf ?of the many advocates who have relentlessly fought to get more attention, funding and resources for childhood cancer. I look forward to continuing my work with them to make this crucial legislation a law."

Love seeing the leadership Sen. Rubio is taking here. To lead a bipartisan issue of a truly American vision is refreshing given the current toxic state of affairs. A man for the people with 2020 vision.
