Hey y'all, just wanted to share my thoughts on this bill. I think it's great that they're reauthorizing the Kay Hagan Tick Act, especially since tick-borne illnesses are a real concern in our state. This bill will help fund research and prevention efforts, which is super important. Did you know that this bill also includes provisions for education and outreach programs? Pretty cool stuff! #SupportTickAct

This bill is so dumb, it's like they don't even care about us! Only big pharma benefits.
