Targeted ads will introduce Kansans to Hart Weir’s agenda of higher health care and prescription drug costs
Today, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee launched a targeted digital ad buy in Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District to remind voters of Sara Hart Weir’s record as a big drug company lobbyist. The new ads come as Hart Weir officially announces her plans to run in the 3rd District after months of hobnobbing with Washington Republicans, setting the GOP up for a potentially messy primary battle.
Before entering politics, Hart Weir served as a lobbyist for one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. After benefitting from Republicans’ 2017 tax law, these companies have been steadily raising prescription drug prices, making it increasingly difficult for working Kansans to afford the medication they need. Hart Weir’s resume comes in stark contrast to Sharice Davids, who has spent her first few months in Congress fighting to lower prescription drug costs and protect people with pre-existing conditions.
“The last thing Kansas families need is a pharmaceutical company lobbyist like Sara Hart Weir working to raise the cost of health care and prescription drugs in Congress. With an agenda like that, it’s no surprise that Washington Republicans are determined to prop her up, but Kansans aren’t going to fall for it,” said DCCC Spokesperson Brooke Goren.
