Tom Barrett’s Big Dreams for Big Pharma Crushed

Last week, Tom Barrett saw his dreams shattered when Michigan repealed a “one-of-a-kind” law that granted immunity protections to Big Pharma.

In the Michigan State Legislature, Barrett voted to keep Michigan as the only state in the nation that shielded the drug companies from liability when they sold defective and dangerous drugs – even dangerous and abused opioids like OxyContin. 

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“While Tom Barrett was busy cashing checks from Big Pharma and doing their dirty work in Lansing, Mid-Michigan was dealing with the devastating impact of the opioid crisis. Corporate greed and political corruption: Big Pharma and Tom Barrett are a match made in heaven.”
