Rep. Weber, a prominent figure in the political arena, recently highlighted Epilepsy Awareness Day, shedding light on the global issue that impacts over 50 million individuals. The awareness day holds personal significance for Rep. Weber and his family due to his son's battle with Left Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

In a poignant revelation, Rep. Weber shared, "Left temporal lobe epilepsy can affect your ability to understand language, learn, memorize, form speech and remember verbal information. His seizures make it hard for him to remember. He describes his condition as similar to Drew Barrymore’s character in 50 First Dates."
