DSCC Chair Sen. Peters’ Statement On Inflation Reduction Act

In response to Senate Democrats passing the Inflation Reduction Act, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Senator Gary Peters issued the following statement:

“This vote crystalizes the contrast of the midterms. Senate Democrats have taken a historic step to lower costs like prescription drug prices, tackle inflation and address working families’ most pressing concerns. Every Republican voted against the bill because it holds Big Oil, Big Pharma and other corporations that have been jacking up prices accountable, and finally makes them pay their fair share. For voters, the choice is clear: Democrats are putting the interests of working Americans first, Republicans are standing against them at every turn – and that’s why they’ll protect and expand our Senate majority in November.”
