In response to Alexandra’s death, we introduced Alexandra’s Law, modeled after the Watson Admonishment given to DUI offenders. It would admonish convicted drug dealers, warning them that if they continue selling fentanyl and someone dies, they could face murder charges. No one in the Public Safety committees provided a sound argument against warning fentanyl dealers about the consequences of their actions. By voting yes on Proposition 36, we can hold fentanyl dealers accountable, protect communities, and address the root causes of addiction. The cost of holding drug dealers accountable pales in comparison.
