Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Tom MacArthur issued the following statement after the House passed the American Health Care Act:
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman MacArthur, co-chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force announced that New Jersey will receive $12,995,621 in new funding to combat opioid addiction. This funding is the first of two rounds of grants provided for in the 21st Century Cures Act, which established the State Targeted Response to the Opioid Crisis Grants program.
It is a challenging time for our country. We are divided politically and a great many Americans have genuine concerns about the future. I get that and respect it. Representing a congressional district that twice voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012, and then voted for President Trump in 2016, means that I have constituents who are good and decent people, and even next door neighbors and friends, but who hold divergent views on politics and policy. It’s my job to represent them both as best I can.
