DB Reaches Out to Local Legislator
Linda Vukelich, executive director of the Minnesota Psychiatric
Society, visits last month with Rep. Jim Ramstad (R-Minn.) in his home
office. Ramstad is the lead sponsor of both the Senator Paul Wellstone Mental
Health Equitable Treatment Act and the Keeping Families Together Act. He is
also a cosponsor of the Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction
Act of 2003 and serves on the House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee. The
visit is part of an ongoing program in which APA members and staff educate
federal and state legislators and policymakers about mental health
issues.
