H.R. 1234 – Lower Drug Prices Now Act
Issue: Health care / prescription drugs
Overview: Lets Medicare negotiate prices for high-cost drugs and caps out-of-pocket costs for seniors.
Talking point: “I support letting Medicare negotiate drug prices so seniors in western Wisconsin aren’t choosing between medicine and rent.”
H.R. 908 – Rural Broadband Expansion Act
Issue: Rural economy / broadband
Overview: Invests federal funds to build out high-speed internet in rural communities and small towns.
Talking point: “Every farm, school, and small business in WI-03 should have reliable internet, not just folks in big cities.”
H.R. 5600 – Election Integrity Act
Issue: Voting rights / democracy
Overview: Adds new ID and mail-in ballot restrictions that would make it harder for rural, elderly, and student voters to cast ballots.
Talking point: “I’ll fight attempts to make it harder for people in western Wisconsin to vote, no matter which party benefits.”
AI summary: H.R. 1234 would allow Medicare to negotiate prices for certain high-cost drugs and cap what seniors pay out of pocket.
Suggested answer: “I support letting Medicare use its buying power to lower drug prices. If you’re paying hundreds a month at the pharmacy in La Crosse or Eau Claire, you deserve a representative who is willing to stand up to the drug lobby.”
