2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate Policy Tracker


The Issues

The 2020 presidential election will have a major impact on the overdose crisis and health care access as well as people who use drugs, are living with HIV/AIDS, and/or who are justice-system involved. We picked the most critical issues that lie at the intersection of public health & drug policy and documented each Democratic candidate’s record, so that Iowans have the information they need to make a choice in the 2020 caucus.
