A catalyst to our recidivism crisis is that our justice-involved population does not receive adequate healthcare, particularly when it comes to treating mental health and addiction.

The funding request for HHS put forward by the Biden-Harris administration is exactly what we need in this moment to address the many challenges facing our country.

I do want to begin by noting the dedication and commitment of farmers and foresters in New Hampshire to reducing emissions and mitigating climate change on our land.

For too long Americans have been grappling with the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs, and the current trajectory for what Americans, and particularly seniors on Medicare Part D, pay is simply unsustainable, and the status quo is…

I am so pleased to partner with my friend and colleague, Republican Congressman David McKinley, on bipartisan legislation to create billions in savings for Medicare Part D beneficiaries.

My bill stands for something quite simple: Safety information should be a feature of drug labels, not a bar to competition.

The Ensuring Access to Lower Cost Medicines for Seniors Act could save seniors $4 billion per year through reforms to how generics and biosimilars are covered.

For years since I began running for Congress, I have been calling on Medicare to be able to negotiate the price of prescription drugs, a policy that has broad support amongst the American people and would generate literally billions of…

I hope that we decide to do that again, and this time to expand things like access to dental coverage for Medicare beneficiaries.

Legislative reforms to how we price drugs and medication in America should be a nonpartisan issue.

Thank you so much, Chairwoman Eshoo, for holding this important hearing today to discuss legislation to lower the cost of prescription drugs for the American people.

Everything you have talked about today, including doctors who didn't take her seriously, has happened in her life.

This past year has been an incredible challenge for Americans all across this country.

this past year has brought countless challenges, but one of the many that stands out is the critical need for universal, affordable broadband access all across America.

I am proud to be a member of Majority Whip Jim Clyburn's Rural Broadband Taskforce.

We need to work together to ensure that environmental justice communities have a seat at the table as we transition to clean energy.

As Congress works to help the country transition to net zero carbon emissions, we must ensure that low-income Americans and communities of color will benefit from this revolution in our energy sources.

Generations of inequalities and injustices have placed a disproportionately high energy burden on our low-income, indigenous, and Black and brown communities.

Transitioning to clean energy is not only necessary to protect human health and the environment, but it is also an enormous opportunity to create a more equitable economy.

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, as a mother and aunt--and now a great aunt--to a dozen little ones, I know there is nothing more important than keeping our children and loved ones safe. From a young age, we tell our…

the pandemic has exacerbated the already dire addiction and mental health crises in our country.

It is an all-hands-on-deck approach, and any serious solution must look at comprehensive reforms.

My legislation, the Emergency Support for Substance Use Disorder, was included in the American Rescue Plan to ensure smaller organizations on the front lines of the addiction crisis would receive support for their harm reduction services…

This is deeply personal. And New Hampshire has consistently had one of the highest rates of overdose deaths in the country.

I am pleased to see that this administration's priorities focus on evidence-based approaches that holistically address prevention, support, and treatment for those battling with substance use disorder.
