The Alzheimer�s Association does not endorse candidates for office but strongly encourages you to evaluate carefully how both Jim Gilmore and Don Beyer plan to meet the needs of Virginia�s 100,000 Alzheimer�s families. Both candidates for Governor of Virginia agreed to provide their views on four issues of concern to the Alzheimer�s Association. The Alzheimer�s Association believes that Virginia�s government should provide a $500 tax credit to family caregivers, require police to be trained in dealing with Alzheimer�s individuals who wander, protect by law the privacy of genetic testing results from discrimination by insurance plans, and fully fund at least the critical unmet needs in home and community-based care programs.
