Hi Patti - Thanks for hopping on the phone. As we discussed, the Senator is supportive of the legislation, it is just a matter of being able to officially sign-on. I will definitely let you know when that happens, but she is supportive of the legislation. Unfortunately, she does not sit on the committees of jurisdiction for this legislation, so she won't be part of the hearing, but we will definitely track the legislation's progress. 

It was great to connect today. Hope you are doing well. 

Talk soon, 

David T. Applegate
Special Projects Manager
Office of U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth

Good morning Marilyn and Patti, 

Thank you for following up on this with me. I just sent a reminder to the Senator's legislative team this morning and have asked them to get back to me as soon as possible. I will let you know right away when I have heard from them. We will talk soon. 

Best, 
David

Hello,

I am following up on prior correspondence to ask what the senator's position will be on two pieces of legislation supported by the blind of Illinois. We are asking her to cosponsor both: 1. S 2559, Marrakesh Implementation Act and 2. S 732, Access Technology Affordability Act.
If you need additional information on these, please reach out to the Executive Director of our Advocacy and Policy team, John Pare, at jpare at nfb.org or to me personally at marilynvgreen at gmail.com. My phone is (312) 343-8396. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Marilyn Green
