Dear Friend,

I wanted to share my most recent column published today by Fox News titled “Four important ways Trump can tackle the drug crisis and Make America Healthy Again ([link removed]) .” In this piece, I write about how President Trump’s drug policy priorities can only be fully met by re-empowering the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). I also list action steps that can be taken to accomplish this and ultimately reduce the impact of drugs on our nation.

Here is an excerpt from the piece: ([link removed])

“Despite the media-coined title, the 'drug czar,’ leading the America’s drug policy, has been relegated to the background of the national fight against illicit substances for years. This position is supposed to be the nation’s chief spokesperson on drug policy and have statutory control over the federal government’s drug policy budget, spread across multiple agencies.

“But regrettably, in a world of high emotions, big egos, congressional subcommittees, vocal interest groups, and competing issues, Americans likely haven’t seen or heard much from our drug czars in decades. If utilized the right way, there is tremendous potential to reduce the suffering that is the consequence of drug addiction in the U.S. With close to 100,000 people a year dying of overdoses, more deadly drugs coming across the border, and for-profit industries targeting young people as lifelong customers, restoring ONDCP’s relevance is critical.”

Alongside the ongoing scourge of drugs is our commitment to push back against it. Sharing truth is a key part. Amid the avalanche of half-truths as well as blatant lies in the discourse surrounding drugs, I am grateful to FoxNews for platforming my perspective.

We would greatly appreciate your support in this fight. ([link removed]) It is far from over and we are only getting started.
