Barr fighting addiction

Recently, 12 individuals overdosed on heroin in fewer than five hour in Mount Sterling. Drugs are a serious threat to small and large communities across Kentucky. Congressman Andy Barr deserves credit for his relentless work to fight the drug epidemic.

Before he dug into this problem others weren’t willing to even acknowledge it. Barr helped pass the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act.

I , along with family members who have battled this addiction, have talked to Barr. He listened to every word we had to say and understands what has to be done. We need to re-elect Barr to continue this fight against drug addiction and abuse. Other candidates want to hide this problem, but he wants to fix it and he needs our support to do this.
