Provide resources and care for those with opioid addiction

Opioids are killing innocent Georgians--and Americans--at a record pace. We must continue to support policies on the state and federal level that provide resources and care to those who are struggling with this dangerous--and often deadly--addiction.

Stiffer penalties for deceptively trafficking in fentanyl

U.S. Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR), Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced the Zero Tolerance for Deceptive Fentanyl Trafficking Act. The bill would increase penalties for fentanyl traffickers who intentionally misrepresent the drug to unknowing customers.

"One of the most lethal opioids is fentanyl, with thousands of overdose deaths attributed to this highly-potent drug every year. Criminals who lace fentanyl with other drugs and traffic them into the US must be held accountable for their deceptive, illegal & often deadly schemes. It's time that our legal penalties properly reflect the seriousness & the fatal consequences of pushing these dangerous substances," said Loeffler.

Under this legislation, dealers who intentionally misrepresent their product would face a 20-year sentence. If the dealers intentionally included fentanyl to cause death--often because they want to increase the reputation of their product's potency--then the offense becomes death penalty eligible.

Strongly anti-recreational marijuana, according to AFA survey.

Loeffler opposes the AFA survey question on recreational marijuana

The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'I support the legalization of recreational marijuana'? Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): "Grounded in God; rooted in research"; they "thoroughly investigate candidates"; when they cannot "evaluate with confidence, they receive an 'Insufficient' rating" (& we exclude)
