Years of Work Fighting Fentanyl
The Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl (HALT) Act passed the Senate recently with an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote of 84-16.
The HALT Fentanyl Act incorporates the permanent scheduling of fentanyl-related substances, which I first introduced in 2017 in the Stopping Overdoses of Fentanyl Analogues Act (SOFA). It ensures law enforcement has the tools they need to stop fentanyl's flow into our country.
SOFA served as the template for the Trump administration’s temporary scheduling rule in 2018, and it recognizes the admirable devotion of Wisconsinites Dr. Tim Westlake and Lauri Badura (pictured above). Ms. Badura, who founded Saving Others for Archie, made it her life’s mission to end the fentanyl crisis after tragically losing her son, Archie, to fentanyl poisoning.
No one understands the danger of fentanyl-related substances better than the families who've lost loved ones to these toxic chemicals.
Their message to Congress: pass the HALT Fentanyl Act without delay. WATCH ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/1FbpGmuROi— Senate Judiciary Republicans (@SenJudiciaryGOP) February 20, 2025

One more thing we don't talk about enough.
The people that die, are big news makers, but the ones who don't die are a big story also. There is so much crime that happens behind the scenes, the jails are full and the streets are even more full. Ron is right, we need to stop this!
