Representative Lisa McClain, serving Michigan's 9th district in the U.S. Congress since 2021, recently shared her thoughts on the HALT Fentanyl Act through a series of tweets. The act aims to address the fentanyl crisis by implementing stricter measures against traffickers and permanently classifying fentanyl analogues as Schedule I drugs.

On February 6, 2025, Representative McClain announced that "Today, the House will vote on the HALT Fentanyl Act to help stop deadly fentanyl from flooding across our border and crack down on traffickers." She expressed hope that all members of Congress would support this legislation after noting that "Last Congress, 132 House Democrats voted against the bill. This time we hope ALL of them join us in passing legislation to SAVE LIVES." "Original quotation"

Later that day, McClain emphasized the importance of this legislation by stating that "The HALT Fentanyl Act combats the fentanyl crisis by permanently classifying fentanyl analogues as Schedule I drugs." She further highlighted her party's efforts by mentioning "@HouseGOP is passing common-sense legislation to make our communities safer." "Original quotation"

In a separate tweet posted on February 6, 2025, Representative McClain quoted President Ronald Reagan: "'Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.'" "Original quotation"
