The California State Senate made a significant move on June 16, 2025, by adopting Senate Concurrent Resolution 75 (SCR 75), which aims to raise awareness and support for Alzheimer's disease. Senator Weber Pearson led the charge, thanking colleagues for their personal stories and urging an "I" vote on the resolution. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor, with 35 senators supporting the measure and none opposing it.

Following the vote, Senator Weber Pearson took the opportunity to honor special guests who attended the session, including Kate Kreiner, Advocacy Manager with the Alzheimer's Association, and Andrew Mendoza, Director of State Affairs for the organization. Their contributions to advocacy and policy solutions were highlighted, showcasing the importance of community involvement in addressing Alzheimer's disease.

The presence of family caregivers, health professionals, and community leaders at the session underscored the personal impact of the disease and the collective hope for progress in care and awareness. This resolution not only marks a step forward in legislative support but also emphasizes the vital role of advocacy in shaping policies that affect countless families across California.

As the Senate prepares to move on to other business, the successful passage of SCR 75 stands as a testament to the commitment of lawmakers and advocates alike in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
