Two DOs to run for U.S. Congress in November
The Osteopathic Political Action Committee (OPAC) is dedicated to electing and re-electing pro-physician candidates to Congress. This year, we have a unique opportunity to achieve this mission within the osteopathic profession.
In Florida and Nevada, two osteopathic physicians have the opportunity to become the first osteopathic physicians in history to be elected to U.S. Congress.
Florida 17
Rudolph “Rudy” Moise, DO is a family physician running for the open seat in the seventeenth congressional district of Florida. Dr. Moise was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and moved to the United States at age 17. Dr. Moise graduated from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. He later earned a MBA and JD from the University of Miami. Dr. Moise also holds a Flight Surgeon Degree from the US Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine and serves as a Colonel in the U.S. Airforce Reserve. Currently, Dr. Moise faces nine other competitors in the August 24th primary. Please visit Dr. Moise’s website, www.rudymoise.com, and offer your support.
It is important that the osteopathic profession unite behind Drs. Heck and Moise in their bid for U.S. Congress. Now more than ever, we need a voice for osteopathic physicians in the United States Congress. It is time that the osteopathic community be represented by having the first DOs elected to Congress. Let’s do our part in helping our fellow DOs.
Nevada 3
Joe Heck, DO, an emergency physician, will challenge Dina Titus for the third congressional district of Nevada. Dr. Heck, a Pennsylvania native, graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his residency at Albert Einstein Medical Center. In addition to being an emergency physician in Henderson, Nevada, Dr. Heck also serves as an active member of the United States Army Reserve where he commands a U.S. Army Hospital.
