We all know how hard the opioid crisis hit West Virginia. Too many of us have lost someone to addiction, and there’s so much more we could be doing to expand treatment and prevention. But Patrick Morrisey shouldn’t be leading the charge.
While pharmaceutical companies were dumping obscene amounts of painkillers into West Virginia, Patrick was lobbying for Cardinal Health, one of the nation’s top drug distributors. At the same time, opioid fatalities increased 67% and Wyoming, McDowell, Boone, and Mingo counties led the country in overdose deaths.
Patrick pocketed millions pushing big pharma’s agenda, but now he’s trying to convince West Virginians he has our best interest in mind. We need a Mountaineer—NOT a profiteer!
