One of John's proudest moments as a public servant was when he was appointed to the Commission for Citizen's with Disabilities in Westfield. His first vote cast was in favor of House Bill 4047, legislation assisting individuals with autism and other intellectual or developmental disabilities. This population continues to be a focus for John. As Senator, he will work fervently to ensure that state policies, disability services and long-term care options exist to keep those in need safe and well cared for.
