H.R. 623, the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0 passed the House. Rep. Budd sponsored the bipartisan bill in February 2022.

Rep. Budd released the following statement:

"America's scientific community is on the cusp of developing cures to some of the most dangerous cancers, which offers tremendous hope to the countless children currently suffering from these dreaded diseases. I am proud to support a bill that ensures that this research is a priority and researchers have enough resources to develop more cures and save more lives."
