U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette is serving her twelfth term in Congress as Representative for Colorado's First District and is Chief Deputy Whip of the Democratic Caucus. Since her first day in Congress, Rep. DeGette has been a member of the powerful Committee on Energy and Commerce, serving as the Vice Chair from 2007 to 2010 and as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations since 2011. The committee has jurisdictions over matters pertaining to health care. As the Democratic leader of the bipartisan 21st Century Cures Act, which became law in December 2016, Rep. DeGette worked to make medical research discoveries in the lab into treatments and cures for patients. This ambitious effort seeks to remake our medical research system to reflect the current environment for researchers, patients, doctors, drug and medical device developers, and everyone involved in treating diseases. It included $1 billion for efforts to address the opioid crisis.
