I thank Chairman Pallone for his tireless work to advance this important legislation. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in support of my bill, H.R. 1215, the Fraud and Scam Reduction Act. Bad actors preying on older Americans is unfortunately…
While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated environmental justice concerns in communities across the country, these concerns are not new.
I am very concerned that, if we don't expand access to evidence-based treatment throughout the country, especially in areas of high risk for overdose, that these rates are just going to continue to climb.
It is clear our Nation's ongoing overdose crisis isn't limited to one community, one region, one race, or one socioeconomic class.
We need to keep people alive, which means we need to expand access to harm reduction services to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with opiate use.
Under the previous administration, the approach towards fentanyl-related substances was handled through policies that more promoted decriminalization and not public health.
I am seriously concerned that our efforts are targeting minimally involved individuals instead of the higher-up traffickers and cartels.

As we consider legislation to modernize our Nation's infrastructure, it is also critical that we remember that investment must include broadband.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for calling this important hearing on the CLEAN Future Act.
March is National Nutrition Month, and I am proud to join my colleagues, Representatives Judy Chu and Jackie Walorski, in leading H.R. 1551, the Nutrition Counseling Aiding Recovery for Eating Disorders Act, or the Nutrition CARE Act for…
When I chose to lead the House version of Senator Warren's DETOUR Act, it was because I was worried that everyone, especially children, would increasingly be exploited by manipulative digital practices known as 'dark patterns.'
I believe Congress needs to act and address 'dark patterns,' such as design choices that are intended to manipulate individuals into using products or services without their consent or for a little personal gain, especially when applied to…
I would love to follow up in writing and ask the entire panel about how Congress can best support State Medicaid programs in their efforts to expand telehealth.
