we will not arrest our way out of this epidemic.

This bill provides those tangible sustained resources of $5 billion a year over five years to our front line.

I have heard from treatment and recovery providers, law enforcement and first responders all across New Hampshire about the need for additional resources.

I would be shocked for anyone to speak out against innovative solutions to address the root cause of this incredibly high recidivism rates in this country.

The complexity of the crisis is urgent and it has devastated communities across my district, and one thing we recognize the solution must be comprehensive.

the administration has repeatedly taken action, including court proceedings, to undermine protections for people, including my constituents, with preexisting conditions.

The key to a public health crisis, as you well know, is trust and credibility.
