Representative Paul Tonko (D-NY) delivers a constituent's plea to President Donald Trump ahead of the 2018 State of the Union Address on behalf of Paul W. Collins, a retired firefighter with a 27 year career at the Troy Fire Department.

Collins contacted Tonko to ask the Congressman to convey his family's story of loss and call for immediate action on America's opioid crisis. Collins had lost his daughter Ashleigh to a drug overdose a few months earlier. He provided Tonko with references to several photos on social media including one of him holding a sign and wearing his firefighting helmet at a Trump campaign rally in Albany, New York.

The Congressman printed the photo and showed it to the President as he was walking up to the dais to deliver his State of the Union. close
