The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is out with a new digital ad this week targeting Republican Sens. Ron Johnson and Marco Rubio over their votes opposing a $35 per month cap on out-of-pocket insulin costs for patients with private insurance. The ad features a photo of Rubio, Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell with a caption reading “Senate Republicans voted AGAINST insulin cap.”
The DSCC said the five-figure digital campaign will reach voters interested in prescription drugs on news, law, and politics websites and will direct individuals to a webpage with additional information about Johnson and Rubio’s vote. “Senate Republicans like Johnson and Rubio cast an ugly vote against a popular policy that will lower the cost of insulin for Americans. Johnson and Rubio showed they care more about their Big Pharma political donors than lowering costs for working families — and voters will hold them accountable in November,” DSCC spokesperson Nora Keefe said in a statement.
Both Johnson and Rubio are up for re-election in the fall general election.
