The AMAC team presents Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa with the 2025 AMAC American Patriot Award.
AMAC returned to Capitol Hill this week for the 2025 AMAC American PATRIOT Awards. This tradition initiated by AMAC’s late founder Dan Weber honors lawmakers who advance the principles and priorities of our membership. This year’s ceremony celebrated the House and Senate leaders who helped pass President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, landmark legislation delivering meaningful relief to America’s seniors.
The event highlighted the unique partnership between AMAC Action’s advocacy team in Washington and AMAC members throughout the country. From the moment the One Big Beautiful Bill was introduced, AMAC members were “all in,” generating an extraordinary 40,000 contacts to Congress urging passage. Their engagement – combined with AMAC Action’s on-the-ground work – played a critical role in building the momentum behind the bill’s success.
Thirty-two members of Congress personally received the American PATRIOT Award from AMAC CEO Rebecca Weber during the ceremony. Honorees included leading advocates such as Senator Rick Scott, Senator Steve Daines, Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator Joni Ernst, Rep. Greg Steube, Rep. Vern Buchanan, Rep. Carol Miller, Rep. Rudy Yakym, Rep. Jay Obernolte, Rep. Randy Feenstra, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. Mike Carey, Rep. David Kustoff, and Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, among others.
In presenting the awards, AMAC CEO Rebecca Weber emphasized both the historic nature of the One Big Beautiful Bill and the deep gratitude of AMAC’s 2.1 million members. “These lawmakers stood with America’s seniors when it mattered most, and their leadership was essential in delivering real, lasting relief,” Weber said. “The One Big Beautiful Bill is proof that good policy is still possible when elected officials put people first. AMAC is proud to honor each of these champions for their commitment to the values our members fight for every day.”
The AMAC American PATRIOT Awards continue to serve as a meaningful reminder that strong partnerships between citizens and their elected representatives can shape the future of our country. AMAC will continue to hold these ceremonies to recognize Congressional allies who champion policies that reflect AMAC’s mission—supporting seniors, strengthening families, and defending American values.
With the calendar soon flipping to 2026, AMAC remains committed to advocating for policies that benefit older Americans and hold Washington accountable. This week’s event reaffirmed the truth that when AMAC members stand together, their voice echoes through Capitol Hill and the halls of power.

May God continue to protect them and give they strength to do the right thing by the American people.
This was not an honest piece. Your headline said we could see a list of all honorees if we clicked the link. You furnished a number of names, but not a complete list.
I read your article because I wanted to find out the actual highlights of the BBB benefits for us seniors, not the highlights of the award ceremony.
I’m not crying in my beer about not being financially secure, but I did cancel Medicare Part B; otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to make ends meet. I was told at the time I initiated cancelation that I will be fined if/when I choose to sign up for Part B, again. How does it hurt Medicare if I terminate Part B & then, down the road, I decide I need to go back on it? But Medicare fining me a large sum of dollars will benefit them, I see.
