Last week, I was pleased to see my Combating Illicit Xylazine Act passed unanimously out of the House. This bill empowers law enforcement to go after the criminals pushing deadly xylazine into our communities while protecting its legitimate use as a veterinary medicine.
I will be working to ensure we get this bill passed in the Senate so we can save lives.

Proud to see my bipartisan, bicameral Combating Illicit Xylazine Act pass out of the House! My bill would give law enforcement the tools needed to crack down on xylazine traffickers while protecting the drug’s legitimate use by veterinarians, farmers, and ranchers. I urge the Senate to swiftly pass it before the end of this Congress so we can get it signed into law and help ensure the safety of our communities.

Vet shortages pose a serious threat to the livestock industry and the wellness of our animals. Proud to cosponsor the Rural Veterinary Workforce Act to provide relief from educational debt for vets and expand opportunities for the next generation.

Illicit xylazine is fueling overdose deaths across the country. In the House, I’m leading the Combating Illicit Xylazine Act to address both sides of the crisis. by stopping trafficking while preserving access for legitimate use. This bipartisan, bicameral bill is backed by law enforcement, the DEA, and every state veterinary medical association. It’s a smart, targeted approach to protect lives and livelihoods.

America’s opioid epidemic has entered a new and especially dangerous phase, as synthetic fentanyl and deadly additives devastate families and communities across the country.
In our latest in @TheHillOpinion, @RepJimmyPanetta, @ChuckGrassley, @SenCortezMasto, and I urge Congress to take action on this pressing issue by passing our legislation to crack down on the use of illicit xylazine while protecting its legitimate use by veterinarians and ranchers.

Xylazine is deadly, and Congress needs to act now to protect our communities.
I wrote a bipartisan bill with @ChuckGrassley that would empower our law enforcement to go after xylazine while protecting legitimate use for veterinarians and ranchers.

Illicit xylazine is fueling the deadly fentanyl crisis, devastating our communities. That’s why I reintroduced the Combating Illicit Xylazine Act, a bipartisan bill to crack down on traffickers while ensuring veterinarians can use it responsibly. It's time to act.

I've been sounding the alarm on xylazine because, as the former top law enforcement officer in Nevada, I know what a growing drug epidemic looks like - and how to fight it.
That's why I reintroduced my Combating Illicit Xylazine Act to protect Nevadans from this dangerous drug.
