The hearing was requested by OGR Ranking Member Elijah Cummings (D-MD) to examine the ongoing national opioid crisis and hear recommendations from expert witnesses. “Every part of our nation, including the nation’s capital, has been affected by the opioid epidemic,” Norton said. “The governors of Maryland and Virginia and the mayor of the District of Columbia held a regional summit on opioid abuse and are working together to learn from one another. It makes sense for Members of Congress to do the same. The opioid crisis runs so deep that it needs all parts of our government to coordinate an overwhelming response with bolstered information and resources. I look forward to questioning today’s witnesses on the steps Congress can take to help localities confront this crisis.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
