Friend,

I know you’ve been hearing a lot lately about both the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act and the Build Back Better agenda – and rightfully so.

Yet these historic, once-in-a-generation pieces of legislation aren’t the only items on the agenda this session, and in the last few weeks, I’ve been pleased to introduce two new pieces of legislation:

1. The Improving Access to Care and Treatment (IMPACT) Act, which I worked on with three of my House colleagues – one Democrat and two Republicans

2. The Gun Violence Prevention Through Financial Intelligence Act, which I partnered on with both House colleague Jennifer Wexton and Senate colleague Ed Markey (D-Mass.)

The IMPACT Act would allow doctors to hold long-acting injectable buprenorphine – a medication used for Opioid Use Disorder – for a longer period of time, thus removing unnecessary barriers for patients seeking care.

The Gun Violence Prevention Through Financial Intelligence Act looks for financial behavior patterns that may be common in individuals prior to their engaging in gun violence – namely mass shootings and terrorist incidents. By analyzing such data, we may be able to identify and stop future would-be mass shootings.

And in light of the heartbreaking news out of Oxford, Michigan, last week, we are called upon to take every reasonable measure to identify and interrupt this fatal violence.

I wanted to share the details of these two bills with you directly because they are important.

If you agree with me that we must do more to help patients and end gun violence, will you add your name to mine in support of these pieces of legislation?

I thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
Madeleine Dean
