Norcross, Kuster, Kaptur, Lead Call to Speaker Pelosi & Leader Hoyer to Prioritize Policies to Tackle the Opioid Epidemic in the New Congress

...Representatives Donald Norcross (NJ-01), Annie Kuster (NH-02) and Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) are leading more than sixty of their colleagues in calling on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer to prioritize policies that will help tackle the opioid epidemic.
..."Over 3,000 people died from overdoses in New Jersey in 2018 – and, sadly, that's a new record. Every single year we're losing more Americans to the opioid epidemic than we did in all of the Vietnam War. It's clear we need to work together, address the many different aspects of this crisis and implement a variety of tactics to help those suffering from the disease of addiction," said Congressman Donald Norcross, Vice-Chair of the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Opioid Epidemic.
