West Virginia continues to have the highest rate of overdose deaths in the country with 90 deaths per 100,000 people.

I'm disappointed in some of the overall funding levels in the NIH proposed budget.

Substance abuse challenges facing the Nation basically are receiving just lip service in this budget as the National Institute on Drug Abuse is receiving flat funding.

I'm pleased that the budget devotes increases to the Cancer Moonshot and significant resources to the Advanced Research Project Agency for Health or ARPA-H to focus on finding cures and treatments for cancer.

We need to do this together, work together.

I really want to thank you and Senator Reed for the initial passage of the Star Act and its reauthorization this year.

If we learned anything during these energy price spikes last year, it's that Americans cannot afford for their government to blindly prioritize climate goals over the reliable and affordable energy they need to go about their daily lives.

Alzheimer's and dementia-related research must remain a national priority.

I would agree now is not the time for us to take the foot off the pedal when we're starting to see these early breakthroughs that affect so many families across the country.
