Kelly Davis

My name is Kelly Davis and as a prosecutor, I have seen the negative impacts of fentanyl and fentanyl overdoses far too many times. The fentanyl crisis has destroyed countless families, and killed far too many people. I love that I get to work with For Cameron and its impactful team to create change around the stigma of addiction and to enact policy goals that can hopefully work to protect the people of Connecticut. 

Eric Rubenstein

The fentanyl crisis has deeply impacted my life, claiming the lives of many close friends and clients I’ve worked with as a social worker in Connecticut. I believe in meeting people where they are in their recovery journey, understanding that everyone is at a different stage. I also firmly believe that education is one of the most powerful tools we have in the fight against this crisis. As a member of For Cameron, I am committed to sharing my knowledge, resources, and personal life experiences to fight the stigma of addiction, raise awareness about addiction and overdose, and help people gain access to the treatment they need. By working with this dedicated team, I aim to turn our collective experiences into positive change and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected.

John-Paul Dorais

As a member of the law enforcement community, I do not believe that enforcement alone can get us out of the opioid epidemic that is plaguing our country. That is why I joined the board of For Cameron, where we focus on raising awareness, helping families that were affected by this crisis, and fighting the stigma surrounding addiction.

I’ve been an advocate and educator in the field of mental health throughout my career. I’ve also witnessed the tragic effects of the fentanyl crisis in my personal life, which is why I’m on the board of For Cameron.  I’m honored to be part of this passionate team that utilizes our diverse backgrounds in dedication to advocacy, education, and legislation to improve and save lives.
