"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."

"I want to applaud Representatives Rogers, Carter, and Jenkins for their continued efforts."

"This is an issue that literally affects people's lives, it is a matter of life and death."
