  • Senator Susan Collins, R-Maine
  • Senator Angus King, I-Maine
  • Senator Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio
  • Senator Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts

Given the importance of bringing attention to the hard work performed by DSPs every year, please ask your U.S. Senators to join the resolution. If your Senators have already signed onto the resolution, please take a moment to thank them. Contact Sarah Meek, Director of Legislative Affairs, at [email protected], for more information.
