Ohioans Praise Sherrod For His Plan To Save “Thousands of Lives” Through Bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl Act

COLUMBUS, OH  – On National Fentanyl Awareness Day, Ohioans – including law enforcement officials and addiction treatment providers – continue to “praise” Sherrod for passing his bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl Act, “a huge step” to protect Ohio families and law enforcement from dangerous fentanyl. Sherrod worked with Republicans on the bipartisan bill for months to crack down on the chemical suppliers in China and drug traffickers in Mexico which experts note will save “thousands of lives.”

Sherrod’s bipartisan efforts to keep fentanyl out of Ohio stands in “bright contrast” to Bernie Moreno, who said he would have voted against the bill and “called the recent immigration package ‘357 pages of garbage,’ even though it included FEND Off Fentanyl Act.”
