We're Making Cancer an Election Issue

Fighting cancer is as much a matter of public policy as it is a matter of scientific discovery.

Every day, lawmakers at every level of government play a critical role in leading policy changes that are vital to the fight against cancer for people with cancer, caregivers, and people at risk of cancer.

The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network’s Cancer Votes program informs candidates and the public at the local, state and federal levels about the actions lawmakers should take to make fighting cancer a top priority.

Through Cancer Votes, ACS CAN is asking candidates seeking federal office to sign the Cancer Promise, a pledge to support evidence-based public policy solutions to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
