State Sen. John C. Rafferty Jr. brought his campaign for attorney general to Schuylkill County on Wednesday by unveiling a plan to combat Pennsylvania’s growing problem of addiction to heroin and other opioids.
According to the Republican Herald, Rafferty said that if elected on Nov. 8, he will create a Heroin Strike Force in the attorney general’s office to increase the manpower and money devoted to fighting heroin and other drugs that he said killed 2,500 Pennsylvanians in 2015.
Rafferty also stated that, “There is not a greater crisis facing the people of Pennsylvania than the heroin epidemic.”
