GOP Candidate Jamison Carrier Fights Fentanyl Crisis With Border Policy

Democrats speak on border policy at the Capitol in Washington

Indiana GOP congressional candidate Jamison Carrier is making a heartfelt stand against the devastating impact of fentanyl poisoning, a cause that hits close to home for him after losing his youngest son, Joey, to the deadly drug nearly two years ago. Carrier attributes the surge in America's border crisis to the policies of the Biden administration, pinpointing the inauguration of President Joe Biden as the turning point when border control allegedly spiraled out of hand.

Carrier, a political newcomer eyeing the Hoosier State's 6th congressional district, emphasized the need for a change in leadership, advocating for the re-election of former President Donald Trump, whom he believes will effectively address the border situation as he did during his term.

The tragic loss of Joey Carrier underscores the severity of the fentanyl epidemic, which has reached catastrophic levels with over 112,000 deaths recorded last year alone, according to CDC data. Carrier described his son as a beloved individual, a hard worker, and an outdoorsman who never imagined falling victim to fentanyl-laced substances.

Urging families to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding their loved ones, Carrier issued a poignant warning against complacency, stressing the need for immediate action to prevent further tragedies. He emphasized the importance of love in action, highlighting that apathy, not hate, is the true opposite of love.

As the primary face-off for Indiana's 6th congressional district approaches on May 7, Carrier's campaign stands as a poignant reminder of the human toll exacted by the fentanyl crisis and the urgent need for comprehensive solutions to combat drug-related tragedies.
