Patty Murray actually said...

"I heard from a mother who felt helpless as her son experienced addiction. He sought help. He struggled with relapse and tragically died of an opioid overdose."

"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."
