Issue Position: Addressing and Curbing the Opioid Epidemic

Issue Position

As head of a major labor union with thousands of members, I've seen first-hand what opioids can do to families and entire communities. Treating this epidemic won't be easy, but it has to be done.

Ensure that every Pennsylvanian has access to quality affordable health care.

Provide top-tier treatment options for those who are struggling with addiction, and resources for their family and friends to help them cope.

Go after the source -- stop the pharmaceutical corporations from profiting by pushing easier access to addictive opioids.

Give law enforcement the resources they need to handle those who are dealing with addiction while protecting our communities from the quality of life crimes that often surround addiction.
