This time on a larger scale,” she said hinting at her determination to tackle the ongoing opioid crisis.She is the daughter of late businessman August Busch Jr. who is credited with building Anheuser-Busch Companies and was married to her mother Gertrude “Trudy” Busch.Trudy Busch Valentine/FacebookAccording to theSt. Louis Post-Dispatch, Valentine has been a major supporter of Democratic politicians and hosted a fundraiser for former presidential candidate Hilary Clinton in 2016 at Grant’s Farm.The news outlet added that former state Sen.
