theories, how many years will that set back a cure for cancer and leukemia and als and alzheimer's and parkinsons and every other disease that needs more funding. it boggles the mind that the senate would even consider giving kennedy any power over health policy. a secretary kennedy would set back the goal at the heart of our work together, helping americans live longer and healthier lives. we started the bloomberg health initiative back in 2016 to combat the decline in life expectancy our country was experiencing. we set out to focus on the most pressing threats to american health and addiction and drug overdoses, adolescent health, environmental challenges, obesity and gun violence. we've made some important progress in each of those areas, thanks in no small part to everyone here today. for example, our fellows have conducted research that have helped pass gun safety measures in 21 states, including red and purple states, which is keeping guns out of the hands of potentially violent people. for example, in minnesota, our fellows are tackling domestic violence against black women and girls who

the most consequential legislation ever passed to tackle parkinson's and related conditions like my p.s.p. it will go a long way toward improving and saving lives. this has been a journey which has been so challenging, yet one which i am proud to have stood strong in and done my part to give hope and comfort to others facing similar battles. our disabilities and our health struggles do not define who we are and i feel more strongly than ever that it is so important to share that truth with the world. this journey could not have been possible without so many people who share my belief that i could make positive change. and conviction that there is real good to be done through public service. to my family, team wexton, and all the people of virginia 10, thank you. i hope i've made you proud. as i head into my final days in congress, i'm choosing once again to have hope. people didn't lose hope in me after my diagnosis, i have real hope that one day we'll find a cure for p.s.p. i see reasons for hope every day, especially in young people, women and girls, and others who don't traditionally h
