Political Quotes

On the recordJune 3, 2025
already this Congress, the House of Representatives passed the HALT Fentanyl Act, legislation to crack down on the criminals who create, traffic, and sell the deadly fentanyl that takes the lives of so many Americans. This week, we will be taking another step to further support our fellow Americans struggling with the deadly cycle of addiction by passing the SUPPORT Act. This legislation will ensure our brave first responders can access and administer Narcan to save the lives of those suffering from an overdose, as well as to continue the resources for comprehensive opioid recovery centers to further support recovery. Too many of our Nation's citizens are stuck in the deadly cycle of addiction, and we must extend a helping hand so that they can return to a normal life and be integral members of their communities. I look forward to supporting this legislation on the House floor this week to help ensure that our fellow Americans address this vicious cycle of addiction.
