November 6, 2024 Washington, DC — A statement from Katie Smith Sloan, president and CEO, LeadingAge, the association of nonprofit providers of aging services, on the outcome of the U.S. presidential election:
“As a nonpartisan organization, LeadingAge is steadfast in our commitment to work with Congress and the administration, regardless of party affiliation. Near-term, we will focus on working with the Trump transition teams to share LeadingAge’s agenda and to gain a clear understanding of the new administration’s housing, aging, health- and long-term care goals. As we learn more, we’ll have a better understanding of their potential impact on our members and those they serve – wherever they call home. That’s our top priority in the short term.”
Sloan added that her policy team is also monitoring changes in Congress resulting from the election. “There are still many unknowns. We’ll continue to assess and develop our advocacy approach to achieve our goals.”
