Wes sat down across the desk from me and told me he had just been diagnosed with als and he wanted me, as his representative, to do something about about it. I worked with colleagues in the legislature, including Representative Cutler, who I know you partnered with, in this, to do a little something for families who were dealing with als. And I stayed in touch with Wes. We talked regularly throughout the 10 years, more that he lived his life. We watched our kids grow up together. (00:57–01:09)
