"I want to thank the Subcommittee for inviting me to testify today on National Fentanyl Awareness Day. It is appropriate that on National Fentanyl Awareness Day, that I am given the opportunity to highlight for you the national tragedy that is being caused by fentanyl. According to the CDC, in 2022, 107,941 Americans lost their lives. Forty-two percent of Americans in the United States now know someone who has died. This tragedy has not spared cities, suburbs, rural communities, or Tribal lands. Fentanyl is killing all Americans. "
