The co-chairs will coordinate with members from both sides of the aisle to combat the nationwide spike in fentanyl-related overdoses and drug poisonings, as well as work with federal and state law enforcement. Members will also work to bring key information to the public to better combat the ongoing threat of fentanyl in communities across America.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cFentanyl is not a new danger. But the deadly threat it poses has now reached every corner of our country and no community is being spared. We\u2019ve lost so many lives to this scourge. So many families will never be the same,\u201d said Congressman Issa. \u201cThe stakes could not be more clear: If we don\u2019t win the fentanyl fight, we\u2019re not going to just lose my community or my neighbor\u2019s. Or any one of my colleagues. We\u2019re going to lose this country. This caucus is needed now as we tell the truth, develop solutions, and save lives.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFentanyl is devastating communities throughout America\u2014in every state, and in every region. Policymakers cannot ignore this deadly crisis, and must work together to develop solutions,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Congressman Neguse.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cIt is in the interest of every American to put an end to fentanyl poisonings. Through the Bipartisan Fentanyl Prevention Caucus, my colleagues and I are joining together to find and implement solutions, and ultimately save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFentanyl is devastating the lives of Americans in every corner of our country. With fentanyl-related deaths climbing every year, we need new solutions to stop this alarming trend. This is not a partisan issue \u2013 it\u2019s a national crisis. I\u2019m hopeful that by working in a bipartisan manner, the Fentanyl Prevention Caucus can help educate Americans on the dangers of fentanyl and provide real solutions that will stop the destruction of this deadly drug,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Congressman Calvert.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFentanyl has led to a devastating spike in the already alarming rate of overdoses ravaging every corner of our nation \u2014 it is crucial that we commit ourselves to a bipartisan effort to combat fentanyl-related overdoses and drug poisoning,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Congresswoman Dean<\/strong>. \u201cEvery day we lose more than a jetliner of loved ones \u2014 Congress must do more. And, so, I\u2019m grateful to help lead this caucus to promote education and legislation that will help save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The caucus includes the following Members of Congress: Robert Aderholt, Don Bacon, Andy Biggs, Nikki Budzinski, Andre Carson, Angie Craig, Sharice Davids, Ruben Gallego, Lance Gooden, Ra\u00fal Grijalva, Chrissy Houlahan, Sheila Jackson Lee, Raja Krishnamoorthi, Doug Lamborn, Bob Latta, Jake LaTurner, Barry Moore, Ralph Norman, Chris Pappas, Chris Smith, Melanie Stansbury, Claudia Tenney, David Valadeo, and Marc Veasey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legislative leaders announce creation of caucus to combat nationwide spike in fentanyl-related overdoses Washington, D.C. \u2014\u00a0Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) announced today that he was joined by Representatives Ken Calvert (CA-41), Joe Neguse (CO-2), and Madeleine Dean (PA-04) to form the Bipartisan Fentanyl Prevention Caucus.
