Thank you, @SecretaryTurner, for honoring my family’s history. My uncle’s journey began at 83 Beals Street in Brookline, Massachusetts, where my grandparents taught their children to think independently, speak with conviction, and serve their country. He carried those lessons to the White House, and they still guide me today.

Draining the swamp is a mandate, and we have an obligation to deliver. Entrenched interests have exercised power in Washington under both parties for decades. President Trump and I intend to keep fighting until the American people—not corporate influence—drive our health policies. I stand firmly behind President Trump and the historic reforms we are advancing together. In less than two years, this administration has rewritten federal dietary guidelines to emphasize real food, secured commitments from major food companies to remove petroleum-based synthetic dyes and other additives, launched systematic reviews of chemicals already in our food supply, and proposed requiring companies to notify the FDA before introducing ingredients they independently deem safe. These are concrete steps toward accountability that Americans demanded. We have hundreds of other accomplishments but there's still more work to do. We must finish food-ingredient reform, advance our work on ultra-processed foods, and put children’s health at the center of federal policy. I will keep pressing those priorities across this administration and work with anyone in either party who will help deliver them. The American people deserve a government that puts their health first. President Trump gave me a mandate to put prevention at the center of health care and end the chronic disease epidemic to Make America Health Again.

Recovery restores lives, rebuilds families, and strengthens communities. I visited the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network, one of eight communities receiving funding through our new $96 million STREETS Program. Through President Trump's Great American Recovery Initiative, we're uniting faith-based organizations, health care providers, and community leaders to treat the whole person and help Americans achieve lasting recovery.

Recovery is possible, and faith can be a powerful part of the journey. At Sheepgate in Colfax, Iowa, I saw firsthand how faith-based recovery programs are helping Americans overcome addiction and rebuild their lives.
