Press Releases

"Today, President Donald Trump released his Administration’s plan to address our nation’s opioid epidemic, and I applaud his actions to combat this complex issue. Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula have been severely impacted by the opioid epidemic, and we must work together to address this crisis in our own backyard." - said Bergman

"As your Representative and as a member of the bipartisan Heroin Task Force, I have been meeting and listening to community leaders, health care providers, social workers, teachers, and law enforcement officers throughout the First District of Michigan, and I will continue vigorously fighting to find solutions." 

President Trump’s plan builds on the important work already being done at the federal, state, and local levels. In an effort to inform and confront the opioid epidemic, the Trump Administration released two websites today: Opioids.gov and CrisisNextDoor.gov. Working together we will address this grave problem affecting each of our communities.
