My best friend experienced a heart-wrenching loss when her 22-year-old daughter tragically died due to fentanyl intoxication. This devastating incident is not isolated; it's part of a larger, nationwide crisis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, were involved in nearly 50% of opioid-related deaths in 2018. The current legal consequences for those who distribute this deadly drug are insufficient and do not reflect the severity of their actions.

We believe that stricter penalties for fentanyl dealers can serve as a deterrent and help save lives. By increasing the minimum sentence for those convicted of dealing fentanyl, we can send a strong message about our society's stance against this lethal substance.

Please join us in calling on lawmakers to implement harsher punishments for individuals found guilty of distributing fentanyl. Your signature can make a difference and potentially save someone from becoming another statistic in this ongoing crisis. Sign the petition today!
