ELECTIONS 2018

We're working to educate every candidate that might have a say on this issue--including incumbents-- to understand what voters expect them to do when they take office.  ​The for-profit, addiction treatment industry is well funded..  YOUR best weapons in this fight are your voice and your vote.  

Below, we've listed all of the candidates we can find that might have an impact on this issue.  For each incumbent (in bold) or career politician running, we have created a page with their known, public track record.  For all of the candidates, we are tracking whether they have taken a public position on the issue, and we've got a link to their position.  If a candidate doesn't have a position, we've given you the direct link to send a comment to their campaign.  

If you are not sure of your districts, go to:
          My State Representatives
          My Congressman

Be sure your voice is heard.

We have asked all the candidates to take the following pledge.  If they have taken the pledge, the word "Pledged" is below their name, with a link to the home page of their website:
I pledge not to knowingly have a financial stake in or take contributions from the for-profit Addiction Recovery Industry, its associations, PACs, lobbyists or owners and instead will prioritize the lives, safety and welfare of recovering addicts over profits.
