Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for your testimony.
Ms. Welz, my condolences for your daughter's loss. Thank you for your incredible strength and dedication to this cause, especially given the immense personal loss you have endured. Your work through Moms Stop The Harm is an inspiration for many. Your organization focuses on advocating for the decriminalization of people who use drugs. Can you speak to how this policy shift could help prevent further tragic loss?
I was listening to Dr. Caudarella. He said that more youth between the ages of 13 and 15 are using substances, and that 90%.... Can you talk about what urgent measures we can implement to prevent further tragic loss?
