Quiver AI Summary
Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is urging the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to release overdue funding for overdose prevention programs, which he claims are delayed, jeopardizing public health efforts. "Communities... are confronting a worsening public health crisis," he noted in his letter to CDC Director Susan Monarez.
Gallego emphasized the need for immediate action, referencing 2024 CDC data that reported over 80,000 drug overdose deaths in the U.S. He is seeking clarity on the funding release timeline and a commitment from the CDC to prioritize overdose prevention efforts.
The Senator's call for action aligns with concerns that federal funds essential for local overdose prevention programs remain in limbo despite recent congressional appropriations exceeding $300 million.
