President Donald Trump made history by nominating award-winning investigative reporter Sara Carter to be the first female director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. If confirmed, she will become the administration’s chief spokesperson on drug policy and have statutory control over the whole of the federal government’s drug policy budget, spread across multiple agencies.
Carter brings with her a deep understanding of America’s border crisis and the dangerous drugs that are flowing over the border into communities across the nation. She’s also a mother of six, who likely appreciates how reducing perceptions of harm when it comes to drug use and predatory industries can hook new generations of users. Carter certainly understands that for young people, drug use is particularly damaging.
