Create biopharmaceutical centers of excellence
Lobbying

Legislative Action (Primary Path)

Drive the Biomanufacturing Excellence Act through Congress and secure funding in appropriations.

Move H.B. 6089 / S.B. 3188 (Biomanufacturing Excellence Act) through committee and into a funding-ready authorization so the Center of Excellence has a clear mandate. Pair the authorizing push with an appropriations plan that secures pilot funding for planning and early projects. Because standalone bills can stall, keep viable attachment options to larger vehicles already referenced in the cause materials.

Why this works

  • Legislation provides the mandate and initial funding – nothing big happens without that.
  • A statutory backing also creates longevity; a Center of Excellence established by law is likely to persist through administrations.
  • The bipartisan support and endorsements suggest good chance of passage if it reaches floor.

Protecting and enhancing retirement and health security for seniors

The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (NCPSSM) is a grassroots advocacy organization founded in 1982 to serve as an advocate in Washington for the financial security of seniors. NCPSSM fights against cuts to Social Security and Medicare, pushes for benefit improvements (like more accurate COLAs), and works to ensure these programs’ long-term solvency. With millions of members and supporters, the Committee lobbies Congress, conducts public education, and organizes seniors to speak out on issues such as prescription drug pricing and protection from inflation.

How National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare uses funding

  1. Map the committee and appropriations path named in the strategy text.
  2. Build a bipartisan sponsor and endorsement coalition around practical manufacturing capacity and supply resilience.
  3. Push for hearings, markup, and committee passage with clear authority to create the center.
  4. Coordinate an appropriations request that supports pilot funding for planning and early projects.
  5. Use attachment strategies to larger vehicles when standalone progress stalls.
  6. Track conference risk so authority and funding are not reduced late.
