Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday, November 30, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) and Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-Fl.) announced the Congressional Bipartisan Unified Voices Caucus to advocate for individuals facing communication challenges, with a primary focus on stuttering. Joined by Change & Impact Founder & CEO, and NBA veteran, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the caucus announcement was followed by a panel of guest speakers who share a variety of expertise in the stuttering community. “Access to effective speech therapy, with specialized interventions, is not just about improving speech; it’s about enhancing social and emotional welfare, promoting greater confidence, and fostering more effective communication. It can make the difference in a child’s achievement, an adult’s success, and a community’s understanding. I especially want to thank Congresswoman Kat Cammack and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for partnering with me to make this launch possible,” said Congressman Carter. “As we embark on this journey, it is essential to underscore the significance of the cause we stand united for. Stuttering, a communication challenge affecting over 70 million people worldwide and approximately 3 million Americans, demands our attention and advocacy. The Caucus that Congressman Troy Carter, Sr., and I are starting is a testament to the bipartisan commitment we share to address the needs of those who stutter,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “It’s an honor to be here today to witness the bipartisan support for a cause and community that is so special to me. I give great thanks to Congressman Troy Carter and Congresswoman Kat Cammack for both making a commitment to stuttering advocacy and awareness. I’m excited for the opportunities ahead,” said Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. View more photos from the event here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
