Hello,

I was proud to be one of the Democratic legislators to help pass the Inflation Reduction Act in Congress last month. It was a historic moment and major win for all Americans, no matter who you voted for, and I look forward to continuing to work side-by-side with Americans nationwide to build on this victory for our communities.

The immediate impacts of this legislation are real. I’ve got a few numbers for you that bear it out:

By allowing Medicare to negotiate with Big Pharma to lower prescription drug prices, Americans will save an estimated $265 billion over the next decade.
Out-of-pocket drug costs are now capped at $2,000 per year for seniors, saving them thousands on life-saving medications.
And health insurance premiums will be reduced for the 23,000 Vermonters receiving coverage through the Affordable Care Act, saving each of them $1,700 annually.

This bill is truly the beginning of the end for corporations’ unchecked price gouging, and we’re starting to ensure they put the people over their corporate profits.

But let’s be clear: None of this is possible if Mitch McConnell is in charge.

Neither he nor any of his GOP colleagues supported the Inflation Reduction Act, and if he becomes majority leader once again, he won’t just put an end to our future plans, he’ll try to undo the progress we’ve already achieved.

With the election quickly approaching, I need the support of this grassroots movement to help secure our Democratic majority in the Senate, and I hope I can count on you. Please consider pitching in $5 or anything you can to power this campaign right away.

My opponent doesn’t support the Inflation Reduction Act, or any of the progressive policies our state and our country needs. By all indications, he’ll be one more vote for the regressive, unpopular policies put forth by Mitch McConnell and the GOP, and we can’t allow their style of politics to win any longer.

We’ve seen what the Senate looks like with Mitch McConnell as majority leader, and it’s him bringing our country to a standstill. Even with the slimmest majority, Democrats have been able to deliver historic victories to working-class families like the Inflation Reduction Act, and we can continue on that trend, but keeping this seat Democratic in Vermont is critical. Without it, we’re jeopardizing everything we fought so hard for.

There’s just 54 days until the election, and we can’t afford to let up now. Will you donate $5 or any amount you can and help me protect this Senate seat?

Thanks,

Peter
