Today, the Honorable Michael J. McCord, Under Secretary of Defense Comptroller/Chief Financial Officer for DoD, testified about the U.S. Defense budget request for FY23.

This holiday weekend, I bring you my weekly update. I discuss some legislation I've introduced and funding I've secured for the district.
This week, I talk about Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation to the Supreme Court. I also talk about our hearing with gas and oil executives, and my new bill to push #BigPharma to be transparent about what they spend on research and development.
I talk about about the MORE Act to legalize marijuana nationally, and our work to cap the price of insulin.
Right now, millions of Americans who rely on insulin struggle to keep up with the soaring costs of this lifesaving drug. • Americans pay more than ten times more for insulin than many of our peer nations. • While Big Pharma produces insulin for about $10 per vial, they often charge families up to 30 times that amount.
The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act will expunge the records of those harmed by cannabis criminalization, create opportunities for all to participate in the legal cannabis industry and decriminalize cannabis at the federal level.
This week I discuss the confirmation hearings of our next Supreme Court Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson. I also give some updates on Community Project Funding and our Artistic Discovery competition, and other updates.
