In the latest installment of Kirsten Gillibrand’s effort to rebrand herself as Senator Working Mom in the wake of a messy Senate selection process, she is today announcing a “three-point plan to address autism,” according to a release from her Senate office.
“With autism affecting more American children than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined and with insurance companies not covering necessary autism treatment, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand will announce her three-point plan to help improve the lives of children and families living with autism,” reads the release.
Gillbrand will promote the measure on a conference call—during which there is a high possibility that she will utter the word “mom”— later this afternoon.
