DCCC Launches H.R. 3-Focused Ad Buy Across Full House Battlefield

Ads Will Be Placed In Democratic Frontline And Targeted Districts Across the Country

Following House passage of H.R. 3 – bold, bipartisan legislation to bring down the costs of prescription drugs – the DCCC launched a targeted ad buy highlighting how Democrats are standing up to big drug manufacturers, while Republicans are siding with special interests and working against more affordable prescription drugs for everyday Americans.

The ads on Facebook, targeted to persuadable voters – which will run in English across the battlefield, and Spanish or Spanglish in select districts – recognize how Frontline Democrats are working for a top priority of everyday Americans and remind voters in the districts of vulnerable Republicans that their members of Congress voted to protect the profits of drug manufacturers.

“Seniors and working families are demanding action to lower out of control prescription drug costs, but Washington Republicans just voted to stand with big drug manufacturers and special interests over everyday people in communities across the country,” DCCC Chairwoman Cheri Bustos said. “This targeted ad buy is a reminder that while House Democrats continue to put the priorities of the American people first, Washington Republicans once again showed they will always prioritize padding the pockets of their special interest backers over the people they were elected to represent.”

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office stated in October that H.R. 3 would lower domestic drug prices and save at least $345 billion for the American people. This legislation will save a family of four approximately $1,920 per year.

Instead of supporting this commonsense bill to lower drug prices, Republicans in Washington once again stood with big drug manufacturers and voted “no.” This comes after Republicans handed out billions to those same wealthy drug makers just last year.

These ads are running across the full Frontline battlefield and in all DCCC targeted districts where the Republican stood with special interests and has not already retired or resigned due to federal indictment or arrest.

Additionally, the ads are running in multiple languages in the following districts.
