Issue Position: Opioids

Issue Position

We lose 30 Kentuckians a week to the drug epidemic. Our state has been devastated by this crisis. I'm the most aggressive attorney general in the nation fighting opioid manufacturers and distributors in court. I've kept all nine lawsuits in Kentucky, because these companies should have to show up in the communities they've ravaged and explain themselves. So far, we've directed $9.5 million in settlements to 16 treatment centers and programs across the state. This is a fight I will continue every single day as governor.
