Ex-aide bending backward to help spinal-injury victims

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 29, 2016

Don't say that Juan "Jasey" Cárdenas doesn't have your back. The former congressional aide is lobbying to make life a little better for those living with spinal-cord injuries and diseases.

Cárdenas had served Rep. Filemon Vela (D-Texas) since 2014 until joining the United Spinal Association as a senior policy associate earlier this year.

According to a recent lobbying disclosure form, issues Cárdenas is advocating for include Medicare rehabilitation technology, neurological-disease tracking and web access for disabled Americans.

The Weslaco, Texas native studied psychology, science and technology at the University of Pennsylvania.
