Randy has a distinguished career as an association executive, a leader of health-care reform, an elected official and a citizen volunteer. Randy is a knowledgeable and outspoken advocate on behalf of people living with a mental illness. Since 1981, he has told his personal story of recovery from mental illness to hundreds of thousands of people in Washington State and in 2006, he told his compelling story to four national audiences. Randy will speak on his manic episode just prior to his election as well as discuss his role as Chair of the Coalition for Insurance Parity. His efforts led to a successful passage of a Parity bill that ensures mental health coverage on par with medical insurance coverage.
