There’s a big difference between someone who talks about recovery… and someone who has lived it, fought for it, and stood at the Capitol advocating for it.

For years, Evan Done has been in the trenches — not just attending meetings, not just offering opinions — but actively working at our State Capitol to push for better policies, better access, and better pathways for people battling addiction and homelessness.

And here’s what people need to understand:

Most individuals struggling with addiction want help.

They’re not asking for a free ride.

They’re asking for a clear road.

But the system can be confusing.

Resources are scattered.

Recovery centers aren’t always aligned.

And too often, policies are written by people who have never sat across from someone shaking through withdrawal or sleeping in their car wondering how they got there.

That’s why representation matters.

When someone who understands trauma, stigma, barriers to treatment, and the reality of homelessness has a seat at the table — policies change. Conversations change. Outcomes change.

Evan doesn’t see “addicts.”

He sees human beings.

He sees potential.

He sees families who just need a bridge back to stability.

Voting for someone like Evan isn’t about politics.

It’s about putting someone in office who understands that recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all… and that real change requires compassion, accountability, and smarter systems.

For the recovery community — for the families — for the ones still suffering in silence —

Having someone like Evan in that seat would be HUGE.

Because when the right representative is in the room…

hope finally has a voice.
