Since returning to the legislature, John has been an outspoken advocate for the restoration of local government funds. These funds are an integral piece of giving our cities the resources they need to fight the opioid epidemic in our communities. Additionally, he believes that the state should be investing in treatment facilities and fair sentencing laws to make sure we are treating addiction, while punishing those who bring these drugs into our communities. This includes regulating industries and pharmaceutical companies who have made these drugs pervasive in our society.
