Concord, NH - Today, Governor Chris Sununu issued the following statement after the President's speech in Manchester, New Hampshire:

"Today, the President saw first-hand the groundbreaking work New Hampshire is doing to combat the opioid crisis," said Governor Chris Sununu. "I was joined by Mayor Joyce Craig and General Mikolaities on the tarmac at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport to greet the President, where Mayor Craig and I stressed the need for adequate federal funding as we tackle this crisis head-on. As Governor, I will always take the opportunity to advocate for our state, and today New Hampshire's leaders showed the President our unique programs, which have the ability to serve as a model of best practice across this country. We were one of the first states into this crisis, but I have no doubt that we will be the first state out of it."
