On May 12, the House Problem Solvers Caucus — an evenly divided group of House Democrats and Republicans focused on pragmatic policy solutions, including Wisconsin's Rep. Bryan Steil (R-Janesville, Wisconsin's First Congressional District) — endorsed the Dignity Act, a comprehensive immigration reform bill. The legislation aims to strengthen border security while creating lawful, work-authorized pathways for long-term undocumented immigrants.

LeadingAge supports the Dignity Act and views the endorsement as a meaningful sign of growing bipartisan momentum. Immigration reform is a workforce priority for aging services providers, as persistent staffing shortages continue to threaten access to care for older adults.

LeadingAge has been actively advocating for the bill through press events, in-district roundtables, and Washington fly-ins that have brought provider members directly to policymakers to highlight the urgency of reform. LeadingAge believes durable, bipartisan solutions are essential to stabilizing the aging services workforce and ensuring older adults receive the care they need.
