Email from Trisha Calvarese for Congress John, Two years ago today, my dad died of kidney cancer. His union retiree benefits covered the cancer meds that gave us years we weren’t supposed to have. Out-of-pocket, his medicine Keytruda cost almost $200,000 a year. No one I know can afford that. Most families can’t even look at that number. So when Congress finally passed a law letting Medicare negotiate drug prices down — that mattered. It meant people like my dad could have more time. Lauren Boebert voted against that bill. I got extra years with my father because of access to lifesaving medicine. Boebert’s record in Congress means millions of Americans won’t get that extra time. Then when Boebert voted to pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill (aka the Big Ugly Billionaire Bill) she reset the timeline for when Medicare can begin lowering prices on drugs like Keytruda. Right now, three middlemen PBMs sit between your doctor and your medicine. They don’t make the drug. They don’t discover it. They just mark it up and walk away with billions. We paid for the science that created these drugs. We should not be paying for them twice. Let’s cut out the middlemen. Drive the cost down. And let’s make these lifesaving medicines here, in the USA — by American hands, for American families. Because at the end of the day, this is about one thing: time — time with the people we love. While I got that precious extra time with my Dad, millions of Americans won’t. Boebert needs to be held accountable. I am running to honor my dad’s dying wish that I serve the community that raised me, and to fire Boebert before more families lose more time together. Boebert is in Congress because of 546 votes. In 2024 when I ran against Boebert I had the best performance a Democrat has ever had in this district, overperforming Kamala Harris by 6 pts while Boebert massively underperformed Trump in every county. She is beyond vulnerable and we will beat her in 2026. To beat Boebert and build a better healthcare system we are going to need your help. Please, can you rush a donation of $50, $25, or even $5 to help us continue building the infrastructure we need to flip this seat, fire Boebert, and reclaim the House for Democrats? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $5 Donate $25 Donate $100 Donate $15 Donate $50 Donate another amount Or pitch in monthly to defeat MAGA extremist Lauren Boebert. No family should lose precious years with a loved one because politicians like Lauren Boebert prop up a cold, broken health-care system.
