Advocacy Day delivers bipartisan ROCR cosponsors

May 13, 2026

This year's Advocacy Day brought together 93 ASTRO members from more than 30 states to advance radiation oncology's most urgent policy priorities on Capitol Hill. Participants met with over 100 congressional offices and such efforts have started delivering results. The Radiation Oncology Case Rate Act (ROCR) has picked up three additional cosponsors because of Advocacy Day. The latest round of cosponsors includes House Energy and Commerce Committee member Yvette Clarke (D-NY) and House Appropriations Committee members Nick LaLota (R-NY) and Jake Ellzey (R-TX).

You can help keep up the momentum by telling your representatives to cosponsor ROCR. ASTRO's convenient grassroots tool takes just a few minutes and clicks!
