American Action Network, a Republican dark money group with ties to Washington Republican leadership, is running a new ad touting Rodney Davis’ commitment to lowering prescription drug costs. There is only one problem: The ad isn’t true.
Rodney Davis has taken $237,000 from corporate PACs with ties to Big Pharma and voted against the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act, a bill that received bipartisan support that would allow Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices on behalf of seniors.
American Action Network is funded by Big Pharma and is used by Washington party bosses to mislead voters on the records of Washington Republicans, like Congressman Davis.
“Big Pharma’s dark money is riding to Rodney Davis’ rescue after he repeatedly put corporate special interests ahead of what’s best for Illinois families struggling to afford prescription drugs,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “This is the kind of pay-to-play Washington corruption that prevents meaningful progress on prescription drug prices because Representatives like Rodney Davis are bought and paid for by Big Pharma.”
