Folks —

I’m writing to you today to let you know about a bill that I’m working on with my friend Mark Warner.

Health care — including access to affordable prescription drugs — is a fundamental right. Mark and I are on the same page about that. Unfortunately, children from low-income families who are participating in the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) aren’t getting the lowest possible prices for medicines they depend on. That’s just plain wrong.

So Mark and I introduced the Fair Drug Prices for Kids Act, which would bring those prices down. There’s no reason that we should pay more for the medicines our kids depend on, and this bill fixes that while improving care for the more than four million children nationally enrolled in a standalone CHIP program.

I might have given Mark a hard time about his terrible cooking skills, but I’d never give him a hard time about his dedication to the people of Virginia. Mark cares about making things better for every Virginian, from lowering the price of prescription drugs to making sure the economy works for everyone.

Mark knows that no matter how long you’ve held your seat, you have to hold yourself accountable to your constituents and constantly prove yourself worthy of people’s support. That’s why he’s campaigning his heart out, even in these unprecedented times. We’re both on the ballot this November, and both of our campaigns are scaling up to make sure that we reach every possible voter.

If you’re in a position to do so, please consider making a donation to support Mark’s and my re-election campaigns.

I’m grateful to have Mark as a Senate colleague, and I’m grateful for your support.
