Team,

Hearing from my constituents guides my work in the Senate. I recently helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act with provisions to lower prescription drug and health care costs. One of many stories that inspired my fight came from a woman named Julia and her father from Denver. Give me a moment to explain, then pitch in $10 to my re-election campaign so I can defend and build on my work to lower health care costs in the years to come.

Julia’s father has a heart condition. The medication that keeps his heart healthy enough for him to live a normal life costs about $6,000 a month. That’s a staggering $72,000 every year for medication he needs to take for the rest of his life.

This is simply outrageous, folks. And it's not uncommon.

The Inflation Reduction Act caps out-of-pocket prescription drug expenses for seniors at $2,000 for the entire year, so they aren’t spending their entire retirement savings on medication. Seniors shouldn’t have to cut their pills in half or skip dosages to make their medication last longer.

I know we can do better, and that’s why I stood firm against Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans as they dedicated hours to obstructing this bill. Not a single Republican Senator voted to cap prescription drug costs for seniors or to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices. And it’s clear where my opponent, Mitch’s self-described “perfect candidate,” stands on this legislation.

Securing lowered health care costs for Coloradans against the corporate status quo makes me a top target for Mitch McConnell and the National GOP. I’m ranked in the top 10 most vulnerable Senators this midterm election year, so I’m personally asking you to pitch in $10 to help me win this race and continue fighting to lower health care costs.
