Patty Murray actually said...

"Last week, I was home in Washington State, and I heard firsthand from families and communities who are facing this epidemic."

"On a previous trip to a hospital in Longview, Washington, I heard how half--half--of the babies there were born to mothers addicted to opioids."

"I heard from another young parent whose children were taken away because she was unable to overcome her addiction."

"I heard from a young man who ended up in foster care because his parents struggled with drug use and mental health issues."
