Team,

Did you know that, starting in his first term in Congress, Peter has consistently advocated to allow Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices on behalf of its enrollees?

Now, it’s the law of the land.

Under the Inflation Reduction Act, which President Biden signed into law yesterday, Medicare will be allowed to negotiate drug prices for the very first time in history. This provision is expected to save Americans an estimated $265 billion over the next decade, and will provide much needed relief for families and seniors who have been struggling with sky-high costs at the pharmacy counter.

Getting this done is a big deal, and a big win for Americans—yet Mitch McConnell and national Republicans (including our opponent) are all against it. It’s a reminder of what’s at stake in this election: we can have a Senate that fights to help everyday Americans, or one that fights for the powerful interest groups. It’s essential we win this election for Peter and keep our progressive vision alive.

We can secure more progressive victories like the Inflation Reduction Act, but only if we keep the Democratic majority, and we need to elect Peter to the Senate to keep it blue. Please consider a donation of $5 or whatever you can to support this campaign and keep the Senate blue.

All across the country, individuals and families alike are feeling the pinch of rising costs. The Inflation Reduction Act will take that issue on directly by lowering costs tied to health care and prescription drugs—all while reducing the federal deficit and building a fairer tax code that ensures the largest corporations pay their fair share. Talk about much-needed relief!

This new landmark law is a signal to every large corporation that has repeatedly and recklessly put profits over people: We’re fighting back. But unfortunately, Peter and his Democratic colleagues passed the IRA without a single vote from Republicans. With the Senate split 50/50, the only chance we have to pass more legislation like this is electing more progressive Democrats. Thankfully, we’ve got one heck of a candidate in Peter Welch.

November will be here before we know it, and we’ll need All Hands On Deck for Peter to win this seat. Can you chip in $5 or anything you can right away to help ensure Peter wins this seat and adds another strong progressive voice in the Senate?

Thanks so much!

Team Welch
