Dear Friend,
I hope you and your family are staying healthy and well. I wanted to provide you with an update on my work this past week in Washington, D.C., and share some resources our office can provide for you.
Advancing Health Care Innovation
I introduced the Advanced Safe Testing at Residence Telehealth Act - "A START" - legislation focused on expanding access to innovative health care technologies and reducing health care costs. This legislation is an important step forward in expanding patient and provider access to health care innovation that will promote high quality, 21st century technology-based care.
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed just how valuable access to health care technology can be, and I am proud to build upon its advancements. The A-START Act would accelerate the enormous achievements recently made in expanding telehealth, diagnostics, screening, wearables, and patient monitoring technology. Patients deserve access to the best information and data that modern technology can provide, to make informed decisions about their health.
I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to disrupt the cost of healthcare, and transform Americans' medicine cabinets to promote a healthier society. To learn more about this legislation, click here.
Our Infrastructure Must Be Future-Focused
As we continue to discuss our infrastructure needs in Congress, I wanted to highlight the need for our proposals to be future-focused. Whether it be streamlining permitting-processes, or advancing technology that can promote 21-century infrastructure in our communities, our policies must be focused on infrastructure that will benefit our communities for years to come.
Too often, Washington creates policies that delay the innovative solutions we are seeing come to market through bureaucratic red tape. As we continue to discuss infrastructure, I will be advocating for streamlined processes, and 21-century policies that will support our infrastructure needs for both the present and the decades to come.

We hope you all continue to stay safe, and are enjoying these cool temperatures!
Arizona Athletes in Tokyo
I wanted to highlight a handful of the Arizona athletes competing on Team USA in the Tokyo Olympics! After a difficult year that delayed the games, I am excited to watch each of our athletes compete and represent our great country.
Additional AZ-06 athletes competing in the games include:
- Brandon McNulty, competing in cycling for Team USA
- Nico Mannion, attended Pinnacle High School & the University of Arizona, Team Italy
- Paul Casey, went to ASU, Team England
- Anna Nordqvist, went to ASU, Team Sweden
- John Rahn, went to ASU, Team Spain
- Taylor Ruck, attended Chaparral High School and swam for Stanford, Team Canada
We are wishing all of the athletes from Arizona good luck as they compete!
I appreciate you taking the time to read my weekly e-newsletter. If my office can ever be helpful for you, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Sincerely,
David Schweikert
