"I am here representing today the members of Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional District in support of robust funding for the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, also known as CARA."

"With the passage of CARA last year, we now are at a pivotal moment in decreasing opioid-related death trends and targeting unlawful distributors through appropriations."

"Last year in Bucks County, which is the largest part of my district, opioid-related deaths rose by a staggering 50 percent last year."

"I ask this Committee to fully fund CARA for this fiscal year, for 2018."
