Team,

Elissa has a brand new ad up in the 7th district that focuses on why she pushes so hard to make prescription drugs more affordable. Take a look:

Elissa’s mom’s story motivated her to cap the amount seniors pay for prescriptions and finally allow Medicare to negotiate lower prices.

Her opponent, on the other hand, is backed by Big Pharma – the biggest pharmaceutical companies are among the largest contributors to the conservative super PACs that are attacking Elissa on TV.

And in the state legislature, Elissa’s opponent has a clear record of protecting the drug companies. Just the other month, he voted to continue allowing pharmaceutical companies to escape accountability when their drugs hurt or kill people, upholding a Michigan law that shields them from nearly all consumer liability (Michigan is the *only* state in the country with a liability shield for the drug companies). One of his top donors, the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity PAC, opposes drug pricing reform and campaigned against it in 2021.

Meanwhile, Elissa got bills passed into law that take on Big Pharma and lower the price of prescription drugs by allowing Medicare to negotiate what it pays for prescriptions, capping monthly costs for insulin users at $35; and capping annual out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors at $2,000. Her Real-Time Benefits Act, signed into law by President Trump in 2020, allows consumers to comparison-shop for their prescriptions before they leave the doctor's office.

The contrast could not be more clear. Michigan does not need another politician who puts corporate interests ahead of what is right. If you’d like to help send Elissa back to Congress to combat the corporate interests that support her opponent, consider chipping in below.
