If you purchase generic prescription drugs, eat chicken, own a television, pay utility bills, receive health care at hospitals, or have student loans,
my work has contributed to lowering your costs. This is important to me because I know firsthand that every Washington family deserves a fair deal and economic security.
Before I share some specifics about this work, will you rush a donation of $20 to help me meet our ambitious $7,000 end-of-month fundraising goal.
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is doing work that makes a positive impact on Washingtonians like you. Here are some examples:
- Combating price fixing: We put nearly $100 million back into the pockets of Washington families by successfully ending an illegal price rigging scheme among foreign manufacturers of television screens and computer monitors. We also shut down price fixing on Amazon products and tuna products. Now we’re taking on 21 pharmaceutical companies for illegally fixing prices on generic drugs, and 19 chicken producers who increased the cost of chicken products for Washingtonians.
- Fair utility rates: I’m making sure the public has a voice in ratepayer hearings, and challenging unfair increases on utility bills that gouge Washingtonians. We have saved Washingtonians tens of millions of dollars on their utility bills, and we’re currently challenging unreasonable rate increase proposals from PSE and Avista.
- Affordable hospital care: I successfully passed a reform to make hospital care more affordable. Thanks to legislation I proposed, 4 million Washingtonians have access to more affordable hospital care — more than half are able to go to a hospital without paying anything out of pocket.
- Student loan reform: Washington families are hurting due to mountains of student loan debt. I proposed and passed a landmark Student Loan Bill of Rights. We took on Betsy DeVos, held servicing giant Navient (formerly Frannie Mae) accountable for deceptive practices, and helped eliminate billions in student loan debt. Now I’m advocating for student loan forgiveness.
My legal team fields 24,000 consumer complaints per year.
We don’t ask or care about their political affiliation — we just get to work fixing their problems and putting money back in their pockets.
Will you stand with me against powerful interests and on behalf of all Washingtonians by rushing a $20 contribution today? →
Thank you,
Bob
