Advocacy Champions We work with relentless champions on the Hill and across the U.S. Our Congressional Committee and Grassroots Action Committee work year-round with our advocacy team to identify pressing issues and make impactful changes. Congressional Committee Our Congressional Committee is a group of our core champions on Capitol Hill. The Committee brings together members of Congress from both sides of the aisle to share experiences, exchange ideas, and work collaboratively on the policy challenges facing the colorectal cancer community. Members of our Committee not only commit their time, but also their staff’s time to help us think creatively about policy solutions to reduce the negative impacts of colorectal cancer. These honorary members also help raise awareness and build support in Congress for the policies we care most about. Congressional Committee Members Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL)Rep.
