Later that day, he addressed the fentanyl epidemic affecting communities nationwide. Congressman Davis urged Congress to pass the MAP Act to enhance tracing technology for controlled substances.

He underscored the shared fight for democracy and recounted discussions with senior Ukrainian officials about their efforts on the front lines. "We will continue to stand firmly with Ukraine and against Putin because their fight for democracy is our fight, too.
