What do you call it when Kentucky families are being torn apart by opioids?

I call it a crisis, John. A challenge for our time.

My opponent calls it a business opportunity.

I am proud to have been one of the first Attorneys General to argue that reckless overprescribing and distribution of opioids was a public nuisance that was killing Kentuckians.

My opponent and his friends at big pharmaceutical companies? Well, put it this way: they must just love making money off of the sicknesses and deaths of our friends and neighbors.

This all goes to the kind of character we want in our attorney general. Today, I am still one of the attorneys prosecuting the drug manufacturers in Kentucky and across the South. I want to make them pay for what they have done to our state.

We have less than a month until the election. Donate today.

Data from 2013 onward shows that Kentucky has the third-highest drug overdose death rate in the United States, with 23.6 per 100,000 people suffering drug overdose fatalities in 2013 alone. Kentucky has one of the highest prescription rates for opiates in the nation – a ranking I will fight to change.

This election is a big choice. It's either someone who will fight this epidemic, or someone who will look to make a quick buck off of it.

Donate today. Help me race to the finish, because I'm a proven fighter and public servant, and I'll always be on your side.
