‘Working together, both parties collaborated on more than a dozen targeted measures to improve access to quality care for our nation’s veterans, and passed landmark legislation to help local communities heal the wounds created by opioid addiction. I am delighted to have one of those local champions as my guest for tonight. Lisa Minton is leading on the front lines of Kentucky’s battle against opioid abuse. She runs the Chrysalis House, a treatment facility for pregnant and new mothers fighting addiction in Lexington. In 2017, I worked with Lisa to secure a $2.6 million grant to expand their services for low-income women and their children. I’m glad she will be in the House chamber this evening and I’m proud to highlight her amazing work.’
