In 2016, over 4,500 Pennsylvanians died from drug overdoses. The opioid epidemic that is sweeping the country, knows no economic or geographic boundary and has affected Pennsylvanians across the state. The problems that we face in the 199th district are not necessarily the same in other areas of the state which is why another one size fits all solution or mandate will not solve this problem. Barb Gleim believes that Harrisburg must work with local communities and provide resources and support to attack this crisis at the local level. As our legislator, Barb will combat the heroin and opioid epidemic by going after the suppliers of the drugs, restricting overprescribing of opioid painkillers, improving treatment for addicts and education for children and families.
