A
DPMs on the Campaign Trail
PMA leads the charge in
state and federal advocacy for podiatric physicians across the country, relying
on every member to provide
support via contributions to the
APMAPAC; outreach to legislators
via eAdvocacy and phone calls; or
participation in face-to-face events,
such as fundraisers or the Legislative Conference.
A few members have taken their
personal stake in legislative advocacy to the next level, running
for office to support podiatry, their patients, and their communities. In this election cycle, podiatrists in Michigan, Nebraska,
and South Carolina are taking their activism and expertise as
physicians to the campaign trail. While it is a considerable undertaking for a physician to switch gears and run for office, the
benefits for the profession are exponential.
Dr. Potchynok-Lund
Candidate for Michigan House of Representatives
Karen Potchynok-Lund, DPM, one of several candidates
running against an incumbent for the Michigan House of
Representatives from District 36, explained how her unique
role as a DPM is an advantage.

Dr. Hilkemann
Incumbent, Nebraska Senate
Robert Hilkemann, DPM, running for re-election in Nebraska, the only state with a unicameral legislature, has gained headway in educating his colleagues and constituents about podiatry.
"I have always been proud of my profession, and I frequently refer to my profession on the floor of the legislature. I know
that a lot more Nebraskans know what a podiatrist is now than
before I was elected."

"The benefits of running as a
podiatrist are that I am not a [career] politician, and I am respected
for my education," Dr. Lund said.
Her interest in running stems in
part from the increased regulations
put in place by the Affordable Care
Act (ACA). She hopes to limit regulations and promote growth in
health care. "Many of my patients
and their families live in my district,
which has helped to develop a
strong voter base and volunteer crew."
If elected, the GOP hopeful will be the first female physician and the first podiatrist to hold office in the Michigan
house. Dr. Lund's husband, Peter Lund, held the seat six
years ago.
