Issue Position: Fight the Drug Crisis

Issue Position

Only a few years ago, the opioid epidemic was declared a public health emergency. In order to actually curb this growing crisis, we will need to prioritize access to addiction treatment. We can and must help our neighbors struggling with the disease get the help they need. Other ways to combat this problem include preventing over-prescription, research and develop non-addictive pain medications, and train law enforcement to intercept shipments from drug traffickers at our borders.
