Friend, Americans are concerned about the overdose crisis, fentanyl, public drug use, and other drug policy issues. It’s important to understand how our next president and vice president will respond to these issues.
We just released new factsheets outlining the drug policy records of the presidential candidates. Please check them out to ensure you know where they stand on drug policy:
The overdose crisis is a key issue we are paying close attention to in this presidential race. It is an urgent public health emergency that affects all of us in every community. It should be a top priority for all our elected leaders. But unfortunately, all the parties and candidates fall short on real plans to reduce overdose deaths and help people who are struggling with addiction.
Drug Policy Action has always been nonpartisan and works well across the political aisle. No party is fighting for drug policy reform to be their marquee issue so no matter who wins we will be working overtime. Regardless of who takes office in 2025, we will advocate for drug policy rooted in evidence, health, equity, and human rights.
With your support, we will continue to keep you updated on what you need to know about the candidates and demand that drug policy reform is a priority no matter who wins the election.
