Press Release

Washington can’t impose higher wages without negative consequences, and this misguided meddling in the economy will hurt the very people who most need help.

Legislation in the House and Senate will help, from curbing prescription abuse to stopping overdoses to helping those in recovery.

House Republicans have always been and remain committed to a strong American military, an active foreign policy, and continued American leadership in the world.

The grant program established by this legislation would help states, local governments, and Indian tribes to target the opioid epidemic.
