John,
For years, Kurt Schrader (D-OR) has been one of Big Pharma’s best friends in Congress. President Biden supports lowering drug prices, as do the vast majority of Congressional Democrats. But Schrader is one of a tiny handful of corporate-friendly Democrats who are watering down — and at times, outright blocking — legislation to lower drug prices.
The good news is that last month, Schrader lost his primary to Jamie McLeod-Skinner. McLeod-Skinner defeated Schrader by slamming him for taking $650,000 in campaign donations from Big Pharma. In her very first campaign ad, she told voters “I’m running for Congress to lower prescription drug prices.”1
But it turns out Schrader is the ultimate sore loser. He has refused to back McLeod-Skinner in the general election — even though it’s a competitive district, and her Republican opponent has a far-right agenda and close ties to Donald Trump.2
McLeod-Skinner won’t be getting any help from Schrader. And she definitely won’t be getting money from Big Pharma corporations. That’s why she needs our support!
Social Security Works PAC is proud to endorse Jamie McLeod-Skinner. In Congress, she will fight to lower drug prices, and to protect and expand our earned benefits. Chip in $5 to support her campaign!
Schrader and his Big Pharma donors want McLeod-Skinner to lose in November — so that they can claim that only corporate-friendly Democrats can win in competitive districts.
But if McLeod-Skinner wins, it will prove that the way to win competitive districts is to fight for working families and seniors — not corporations!
Donate $5 to Jamie McLeod-Skinner today so she can win in November. In Congress, she will work to lower drug prices and expand Social Security and Medicare! 100% of your donation will go immediately and directly to her campaign.

Alex Lawson
