Published | Video Starts at 01:27

We watched our kids grow up together. I watched Wes walk not with a cane, but then get around with a wheelchair, and then ultimately, with the assistance of many others. I share that story with you because Wes is no longer with us here on Earth, but Wes is with me in my heart. And Wes is part of what drives me to do this work with people like Representative Mullins to ensure that neurodegenerative diseases are addressed in our state government. (01:27–01:46)
