House Democrats to spend $1M on ads targeting GOP on drug pricing
The House Democrats' campaign arm will spend more than $1 million on national television ads hitting Republicans on the issue of high prescription drug prices.
The digital and TV ads from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) argue that House Republicans and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) are standing in the way of Congress passing legislation aimed at lowering drug prices.
"We are going to make sure every voter out there understands we as Democrats — House Democrats specifically — are doing everything we can to fight to bring down the cost of prescription drugs while Mitch McConnell and House Republicans are doing nothing but get in the way," said DCCC Chairwoman Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.).
The 30-second ad spots, which will air on MSNBC, CNN and Univision as well as on local cable markets, claim McConnell and Republicans in Congress have taken millions from drug companies.
