This weekend the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act, a comprehensive health care and climate bill to lower prescription drug prices and combat climate change. In fact, this bill includes the largest ever American investment toward reducing carbon emissions.
And it’s all because of Georgia.
FIRST: Georgia voters turned out in droves to support Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock in 2020, sending both Senate races to a runoff while rejecting Donald Trump.
THEN: Georgia voters did it again two months later in the runoff, electing Ossoff and Warnock to the U.S. Senate and flipping two seats from red to blue
NOW: Those two votes made the difference and empowered Democrats to pass a bill to lower prescription drug prices, fight climate change, and provide relief to American families.
But that’s not all, John. Not only did Georgians give us the Senate majority we needed to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, but they elected the author of some of the bill’s vital provisions to lower costs of prescription drugs and insulin.
