Dear John,
Giant pharmaceutical corporations "are stealing billions upon billions of dollars from American families every year," according to court filings led by Democratic Attorneys General this week.

That's money out of your pocket. The Attorney General can fight to get it back.
A personal story: in 2015, I was between jobs and health insurance plans. I went to pick up a prescription for Differin at the Billings Albertsons on 27th. The out of pocket price for me in 2015 without insurance? $270. This is one of the drugs whose price we now know was illegally manipulated and increased.
I left it on the counter, skipped my prescription that month, and waited until my next job started. Differin is a boring topical that's been around forever. $270. Imagine if that was a life-saving medication. That's the choice so many Montanans face. Now I know that big RX companies had been robbing me and my insurance plan for years.
Do you know someone who takes Ritalin? These corporations stole money from them.
Ever use Lotramin for athlete's foot or ringworm? They stole money from you.
Does a family member rely on Dilantin, a life-saving medication to control seizures? They stole money from you and put your family’s health at risk.
My opponent says this "isn't what the attorney general's office is designed for." He's so out of touch, even his fellow Republicans agree this is theft. I commend Attorney General Fox for joining this effort led by Connecticut Attorney General Tong.
As Montana’s Attorney General, I'll go further and make Montana a leader again–leading our own investigations, filing our own cases, and recovering money that's been taken from us.
These corporations stole from you. Let's put that money back in your pocket and elect an Attorney General who fights for us.
Sincerely,
–Raph Graybill
P.S. If you agree that the Attorney General should stand up to Big Pharma, please considered donating to our campaign!
