                            HON. ADAM SMITH

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 15, 2020

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor and 
congratulate Peter Newbould, the Senior Public Policy Manager of the 
Alzheimer's Association Washington State Chapter, on his retirement.
  Peter has had an outstanding career advocating for those affected by 
Alzheimer's. In his six years at the Alzheimer's Association he guided 
other advocates in opening a meaningful discussion with Congress about 
this disease. Peter spread awareness of Alzheimer's and was a top ten 
recruiter in the nation for the Alzheimer's Impact Movement.
  Peter was instrumental in advancing public policy goals and served on 
the advocacy subcommittee of the Dementia Action Collaborative, helping 
win State appropriations to implement priorities in the 2016 
Alzheimer's State Plan.
  Prior to joining the Alzheimer's Association, Peter had an impressive 
career including working for over 13 years in the U.S. House of 
Representatives. In the 1980s, he was Chief of Staff to Congressman Jim 
Florio of New Jersey and Congressman Ron Wyden of Oregon. He then 
served for 21 years as Director of Congressional & Political Affairs at 
the American Psychological Association, during which he co-chaired a 
coalition that won passage of two federal laws on mental health parity.
  Madam Speaker, it is with great admiration that I recognize and 
congratulate Peter Newbould on his retirement and the incredible 
advocacy work he has done for those facing Alzheimer's.
