Established in 2007, Your Congress-Your Health is the only constituent education initiative of its kind. Research!America and our partners launched the initiative because health is a domestic priority, impacting the economy and the lives of each and every American. It is essential for constituents to know where their representatives and senators stand on such an important issue.
For the 2010 elections, Your Candidates–Your Health asks candidates for Congress to tell America their views on research and health-related issues. Responses to the 2010 questionnaire and previous responses to Your Congress–Your Health are available on the Your Candidates-Your Health website. Research!America and the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation established the voter education initiative in 2006.
