Washington father who lost two sons to fentanyl overdoses pleads for Congress to crack down on drug dealers

A Washington father who lost two sons to fentanyl poisoning in less than two years is calling on Congress to take more aggressive actions to defeat the crisis.

On April 16, 2021, Wonacott's son William, 27, died in Alabama from an overdose of methamphetamine laced with fentanyl. Then, less than two years later, on Nov. 15, 2022, Wonacott discovered his son James, 32, died taking fentanyl-laced methamphetamine while conducting a wellness check at his apartment. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

Wonacott's voice cracked as he recalled the memory of his two sons, noting that fentanyl poisoning had claimed the lives of 50% of his four children.
