A big thank you to @RepMMM — an original Multi Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Champion—helping lead the fight for earlier cancer detection and better outcomes. #ACSCAN #Iowa #Cancer #MCED
Honored to receive the 2026 Cancer Patient Champion Award from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, Army of Pink, and Prevent Blindness Iowa today.
The Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Act is one of the most important bills I have fought for, because catching cancer early saves lives. Rising rates in Iowa remind us this fight is far from over, and I am not stopping.🎗️🇺🇸
