Rotary Club of Doylestown Welcomes Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick

Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (R-8thDistrict) spoke at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Doylestown about issues affecting Bucks County and the nation. He discussed topics such as school safety, cyber-security, health care costs and the opioid epidemic.

Fitzpatrick is the Vice Chairman of the House's Bipartisan Heroin Task Force which has passed measures that authorized federal funding to assist state and local governments with law enforcement, prevention, recovery, research and treatment of opioid addiction. “From the toll it takes on our communities and families,” said Fitzpatrick. “To the strain on local leaders and law enforcement, this crisis is too important to let partisan politics get in the way of solutions.” At the end of his talk, he took questions from Rotary members.
