Amy Klobuchar rolled out the first major policy proposal of her 2020 bid on Friday: a plan to invest $100 billion over a decade to combat drug and alcohol addiction and improve mental health services, care and prevention.
Democratic White House hopeful
"I believe everyone should have the same opportunity my dad had to be pursued by grace and get the treatment and help they need," she added. Klobuchar’s rise to presidential contender could be pinpointed to one of the most memorable moments of Kavanaugh’s hearing when Klobuchar, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, squared off with him over whether he had ever blacked out from drinking. Kavanaugh had been accused by Christine Blasey Ford, a California professor, of being drunk and trying to sexually assault her when they were teenagers in the 1980s.
Turning her attention to the substance of her platform, Klobuchar divided her detailed plan into three buckets: prevention and early intervention, treatment and justice, economic opportunity and ongoing recovery. She also aims to prioritize mental health and substance abuse treatment over jail for non-violent offenders, increase federal support for drug and mental health courts to promote treatment over incarceration, better train law enforcement on crisis intervention, including equipping first responders with life-saving naloxone, and support reintegration for those recovering from addiction or re-entering society after incarceration.
