Shannon Westin, Professor at Department of Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, shared a post on X/Twitter by Ashley Love Sumrall, Associate Professor at Atrium Health:

“This newly minted FASCO member supports this tweet.
Jason Westin has dedicated years to ASCO – most recently as the Board Treasurer and Government Relations chair. He is a fierce advocate for our patients and our society! Full disclosure – he is my better half!”

Quoting Ashley Love Sumrall’s post:

“Wow! There are so many incredible candidates running for ASCO positions in this year’s election. I just would love to draw attention to one in this thread… Dr Westin aka Jason Westin is the husband of Shannon Westin and a true he for she.

He loves advocacy work so much that he actually ran for a house seat in his district! He has been involved in ASCO for years, most recently as the chair of the government relations committee.

I’ve watched my friend work tirelessly on behalf of patients with cancer to improve access to care and remove barriers. There are great candidates this year! Please consider Jason Westin when you vote.”
