SUMMARY:American Medical Association: Jump-start Your advocacy in 2025
DESCRIPTION:Jump-start Your advocacy in 2025\n\nDate: Wednesday\, January 2
 2nd 2025\n\nTime: 8:00PM\n\nLocation: Virtual\n\nChange is once again in t
 he air for Washington with the 2024 elections marking the sixth consecutiv
 e “change election.” Both the US Senate and White House will flip to R
 epublican control in 2025. Democrats had a net gain of 1 seat in the House
 \, but that wasn't enough for them to retake the majority in that chamber.
  These changes in party control aren’t the only aspects of the 119th Con
 gress that are noteworthy. Within each chamber of Congress\, additional se
 eds of change have been planted\, with more to come. South Dakota Senator 
 John Thune assumes the mantles of both party and Majority Leader. He repla
 ces Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell as GOP leader. New York’s Chuck Sch
 umer will remain the Senate’s top Democrat as Minority Leader\, but othe
 r leadership positions and committee rosters shift as the game of musical 
 committee chairs plays out. Over in the House\, a slim majority maintained
  by Republicans has been narrowed by departures for the Administration. El
 ise Stefanik (NY-21) leaves to become Ambassador to the United Nations and
  Michigander Lisa McClain (MI-10) replaces her as House Republican Confere
 nce Chair. While other top roles for both the Republicans and Democrats re
 main unchanged\, committee assignments have been shuffled. Could other cha
 nges jolt the makeup of Congress in 2025? Who will wield more influence in
  the 119th Congress? And what does this all mean for health policy? This A
 MA educational session will explore the fluid Congressional landscape\, th
 e effect it will have on health care policy in the new Congress\, and how 
 you can be an effective advocate in 2025 and beyond.\n\nRegistration Infor
