After drug company lobbyist and Washington Republican Amanda Makki filed to run for Congress in FL-13, DCCC spokesperson Avery Jaffe issued the following statement:
“The last person Pinellas County voters would ever choose to represent them in Congress would be a DC lobbyist for big drug companies — and that’s exactly who Amanda Makki is. While Charlie Crist works for the people and fights to lower prescription drug costs for Pinellas County seniors and families, Makki worked for the pharmaceutical industry in Washington, lobbying for a drugmaker that jacked up insulin costs by over 700 percent.”
