Arizona congressional candidate suspends campaign after heroin overdose

The Wednesday incident was a relapse for Taylor, a combat veteran who has battled opioid addiction since high school.

In a written statement, Taylor said he was seeking treatment and not backing away from what happened.

"Today, I have suspended my campaign for the US House of Representatives and am seeking treatment for substance abuse disorder. I will fully cooperate with local authorities on any matters arising from my recent relapse and overdose," Taylor said in a statement to The Arizona Republic on Monday.

Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Understandable, but nothing good can come from any of us using Donald as a role model for moral or ethical behavior.

Be better -- it's not like he makes it difficult.

If we're going to build bridges, shouldn't we emulate the leaders of the people we disagree with? What could possibly go wrong?
