Lamborn issued the following statement regarding clean needle programs:“Drug abuse is a terrible reality in our country. It’s a reality that is destroying lives and tearing apart neighborhoods and families. With the opioid epidemic ravaging the nation and our state, subsidizing “clean” needle exchanges is a tone-deaf solution that will only make the problem worse. Drug abusers don’t need easier access to needles and drugs, they need hope and help escaping their addiction. This year, I supported a Financial Services appropriations bill that prohibited taxpayer funds from being used to support “clean” needle programs in Wash., D.C. I stand by that vote and encourage leaders in Colorado Springs to oppose any proposal promoting “clean” needle programs. Beyond preventing drug use and addiction, safely disposing of needles is a more important local issue.” Read more information here. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
