Carpino, who serves on the legislature’s Judiciary Committee, was formally recognized for her efforts in crafting a new child endangerment law by earning the title of “MADD Legislator of the Year” award for 2016.

    According to MADD, there are over 10,000 deaths annually that occur across the United States as a result of alcohol-related accidents. As Legislator of the Year, Carpino played a major role in MADD’s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving through her legislative efforts and community advocacy. Recently, Carpino and MADD facilitated a DUI checkpoint in Portland. It is estimated through MADD’s advocacy efforts and legislative support, drunk driving has been reduced 53% nationally.
