Congrats @racheljpat on new role in The White House as Director of Disability Policy for Domestic Policy Council. Rachel Patterson recently left Epilepsy Foundation of America to be another expert voice on disability policy at highest ranks of administration. Great for ppl w/ #disabilities & for DPC!
