The Opioid Crisis

Larry Krasner, Democrat

Krasner does not address the opioid crisis on his website. According to a report from the Inquirer, he supports needle exchanges, which allow people with addiction to get clean hypodermic needles to avoid contracting diseases, and safe-injection sites, medically supervised areas for people to safely inject drugs to avoid overdose.

Beth Grossman, Republican

Grossman writes on her website that she wants to prosecute “large-scale narcotics traffickers” and doctors who irresponsibly prescribe drugs like opioids. She also wants to examine possible prescription restrictions. According to a report from the Inquirer, she is open to discussing safe injection sites.
