When I was first elected to Congress, the opioid crisis was devastating communities in New Hampshire and across the country—it’s why I founded the Bipartisan Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Task Force to bring Democrats and Republicans together to tackle this epidemic.
Since then, we’ve made significant progress in expanding access to treatment and recovery services and equipping communities with the tools and resources they need to address this crisis at the local level. This week, I was recognized with the Congressional Leadership Award by the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA). Together, we'll keep working to ensure everyone has access to the health care and support services they need to thrive.
