Good morning from Price. Looking forward to starting the roundtable discussion with @SutherlandInst on the #opioidcrisis, its impact on rural Utah, and what I’m doing in Congress to help. The event will be live streamed on my Facebook page. #utpol

Part of today’s conversation is the alarming new study from @CDCgov that revealed the rate of women addicted to opioids has quadrupled. My bill, the POPPY Act, is a step closer to figuring out why. Today, we’re discussing how to fix it.

Debbie Marvidikis from Southeast Utah Health Department said today in a roundtable discussion with @RepJohnCurtis on the opioid crisis: “Community-based programs are the solution to our local opioid crisis. On a national level, we will need legislation.” #utpol#SutherlandEvents

.@RepJohnCurtis today: “The best ideas, the best solutions don’t come from Washington, D.C. – we are the last resort. If any ideas come out today, it’s this idea of ownership. We need to be the owners of the ideas that come forward.” #utpol #SutherlandEvents #opioidcrisis
