Arizona is facing an unprecedented crisis. Every day, three Arizonans die from fentanyl overdoses, devastating families and communities across our state. Addiction, homelessness, and the growing fentanyl epidemic have created a public health emergency that demands immediate action. Victor Harris and Skyla Edwards are dedicated to confronting this crisis head-on, offering real solutions to save lives and rebuild communities.

The fentanyl crisis has reached catastrophic levels in Arizona. With fentanyl being trafficked across our southern border and infiltrating our communities, it’s killing people at an alarming rate. Victor and Skyla are committed to stopping the flow of fentanyl into our state by increasing law enforcement resources, enhancing penalties for drug traffickers, and working with federal agencies to cut off the supply at its source. They will also advocate for better public awareness campaigns to educate Arizonans on the dangers of fentanyl.

Skyla is committed to ensuring that Arizona provides the necessary support for those battling addiction and their loved ones.

3. Expanding Access to Treatment

Victor and Skyla believe in expanding access to treatment for those suffering from addiction. They support increasing funding for rehabilitation centers, providing more options for mental health care, and making addiction treatment more affordable and accessible to all Arizonans. By expanding treatment programs, we can offer those struggling with addiction a path to recovery and help prevent future tragedies.

4. Tackling Homelessness

Many of Arizona’s homeless population are suffering from addiction, often trapped in a cycle of despair. Victor and Skyla support comprehensive homelessness solutions that include not just temporary shelters, but long-term housing and treatment programs designed to address the root causes of homelessness, including addiction and mental health challenges. Their plan focuses on creating partnerships between local governments, nonprofits, and community organizations to help the homeless find stability and regain control of their lives.
