We are going to need to work together at all levels of government to stop it, both addressing the supply as well as the demand side.
Maggie Hassan
The Public Record
Maggie Hassan is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from New Hampshire since January 3, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, she previously held the position of the 81st governor of New Hampshire from January 3, 2013, to January 5, 2017. During her tenure as governor, Hassan focused on expanding access to healthcare, improving the state's economy, and addressing issues related to education and infrastructure.
law enforcement has spoken very compellingly about the fact that we cannot arrest our way out of this opioid epidemic, that it is going to take a combination of prevention, treatment, as well as law enforcement.
We have to ensure that our Federal, State, and local law enforcement officers have the resources necessary to keep our communities safe.
the TIGER grant program...has been hugely successful in providing support for infrastructure across the country.
We have to ensure, too, that there are social and educational programs in place.
I hope will be to see if we can support existing programs and perhaps fund them more because they've been deeply useful in New Hampshire.
I think it is something we really need to look at, because the overall security climate at airports I think will really be compromised with those grants.
I pushed the Obama Administration on this, and I am now pushing the Trump administration on it.
We need an extra budget just for helping the States to be able to deal with this.
Bringing law enforcement skills to the visa adjudication process makes a lot of sense, at least to me--I hope it does to you, too--and it should probably be, I think, implemented across the board for all diplomatic posts that issue visas.
