Kip and Chance’s story is a solemn reminder to us all of the thousands who fell sick or who died as a result of faulty gaps and holes in our nation’s food safety system.
—Dianna DeGette
I am proud to count two members of the United States Congress as friends: Diana DeGette of Colorado and Lynn Jenkins of Kansas. I'm humbled to say that both have agreed to contribute to Second Chance!
Representative DeGette has written a special introductory letter to the book stating the importance of our project to her cause of food safety regulation reform. We met in 2007 when I participated in food safety discussions she hosted in our home state.
Representative Jenkins and I have been friends for over fifteen years, and she graciously contributed the forward to the book. In it she recounts our conversation we had when she was first deciding to run for Congress and reminisces on how Chance’s story affected her as a friend and mother.
I am very proud of Kip for having the courage to share his story. I believe this book will have a strong impact on parents and families everywhere.
—Lynn Jenkins
The fact that these two women sit on opposite sides of the political aisle is interesting, but irrelevant. Food safety is everybody’s concern—it is not a Democratic or Republican issue.
Keeping our children free from harm is a sacred task that we all must undertake.
Stay safe! —Kip
