Attending the meeting were Beth Garner (who has 2 grandchildren with type 1), Krissy Richmond (adult type 1) and her sister Nikki, Mitchell Hofler (has type 1) with his sister Blair and parents Bill & Linda, and Robby Lane (has type 1) and his dad Bill (Advocacy Team Chair). They advocates thanked Representative Jones for his past support of diabetes-related issues.
