   HONORING CADEN NORRING'S COMMITMENT TO COMBATING THE OPIOID CRISIS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ANGIE CRAIG

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 24, 2024

  Ms. CRAIG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my constituent, Caden 
Norring, who worked in partnership with his peers to put together a 
Fight Back Against Fentanyl PSA.
  Caden is from Hastings, Minnesota. His brother, Devin, was an honors 
student who loved playing football, making music and skateboarding.
  On April 4, 2020, Caden and his family lost Devin to fentanyl 
poisoning. He was seeking relief from blackout migraines and dental 
pain. He bought what he thought was Percocet marketed by a drug dealer 
on Snapchat. That pill turned out to be 100 percent fentanyl.
  Devin was 19 years old.
  The Devin Norring Foundation, in partnership with Caden, produced an 
impactful and heartfelt PSA to fight back against fentanyl. In turning 
his grief into activism, Caden has shown strength and courage beyond 
his years. I am proud to have him as a constituent and an ally in this 
fight against the fentanyl crisis.
  I thank Caden for sharing Devin's story and demonstrating a 
commitment to combating the opioid crisis.
