U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) today joined Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), and Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) in hosting a bipartisan forum on Capitol Hill to discuss ways to help communities in New Hampshire and across the country fight drug addiction and support individuals in recovery. Today’s forum was the third in a series of bipartisan briefings the Senators have hosted to explore ways to better support addiction treatment and recovery. In her remarks, Senator Ayotte shared the personal story of Newton, New Hampshire residents Doug and Pam Griffin, who tragically lost their daughter Courtney to a recent heroin overdose. The Griffins have courageously shared their experience in an effort to help other families who have loved ones that are struggling with addiction. Senator Ayotte also discussed input she has received from first responders, health care professionals, and treatment providers who are on the front lines of New Hampshire’s drug crisis.
