Help make air travel safe + dignified: https://t.co/9ypgs851Q9.
People with disabilities shouldn't have to face extra obstacles when they travel. They deserve equal access to our airports and airplanes. That is why I introduced the Air Carrier Access Amendments Act which will make travel more convenient and accommodating for all. @PVA1946@UnitedSpinal
With a background in medicine + @USArmy, @RepMMM has insights many don't.
