Carrie Buck opposed effort to lower prescription drug prices in Nevada
Carrie Buck, a Republican candidate for Congress in Nevada, is campaigning on lowering costs even though she opposed efforts to cut prescription drug prices. Buck has served in the Nevada Senate since 2020. She is now vying to represent the state’s 1st District, which includes portions of Las Vegas and Henderson. In 2023, Buck opposed Assembly Bill 250, which would have extended Medicare drug savings to all Nevadans. The cost of several medications is capped for Medicare recipients at prices negotiated by the federal government. Price-capped drugs include medications for diabetes, blood clots, heart failure, and autoimmune diseases. Former Lt. Gov. Kate Marshall championed the bill and told the Nevada Independent that passing it was a moral imperative. “People have the right to have access to medication at a reasonable price,” Marshall said. “Many people in Nevada feel the pressure of inflation, [are] still reeling from the pandemic, are trying to get through their lives. We are obligated as public servants to extend a hand and say, ‘I am there with you.’” In 2024, Buck defended her vote against the legislation but did not elaborate on exactly why she opposed it. “Anytime you put caps on things, I really worry about the greater impact,” Buck said. Assembly Bill 250 passed the Nevada Legislature but was vetoed by Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo. Democrats plan to reintroduce the bill. Buck was also an opponent of the 2021 Inflation Reduction Act, the law that empowered the federal government to negotiate lower drug costs. The law helped more than 140,000 Nevadans afford life-saving prescriptions. Buck said it was a “disaster.” Buck is challenging incumbent Democratic Rep. Dina Titus, who supported the Inflation Reduction Act and praised its cost-cutting measures. “This historic legislation will make a difference for families by lowering health care costs, cutting prescription drug prices, and reducing the price of energy,” Titus said in a statement when the law was passed. Buck’s campaign is endorsed by President Donald Trump. The post Carrie Buck opposed effort to lower prescription drug prices in Nevada appeared first on American Journal News.

Husted’s budget plan would force deep cuts to Social Security and Medicare
Jon Husted ended his first year in the U.S. Senate by proposing a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget, a plan that would likely lead to massive cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Husted introduced the amendment in November 2025 alongside Wyoming Sen. Cynthia Lummis and Texas Rep. Nathaniel Moran. The amendment would compel Congress to balance federal spending and revenue within 10 years of ratification. “I’m introducing this amendment to restore fiscal responsibility in Washington, calm inflation, and require Congress to rein in spending in a principled way,” Husted said in a press release. Husted later said in a radio interview that his plan was better than “taxing the rich” and was the “only way” to lower the national debt. A 2018 analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, however, says such a plan would imperil a key funding mechanism for Social Security, Medicare, and other safety net programs. Social Security and Medicare are primarily funded through payroll taxes. Those funds are held by the U.S. Treasury and disbursed to beneficiaries. Any surplus funds are invested in special Treasury bonds that are drawn on when tax revenues fall short. A balanced-budget amendment would essentially make it illegal for the federal government to spend more in a given year than it collects in revenue. That means if tax revenues are insufficient to fund Social Security and Medicare, the government would be prohibited from drawing on the bonds to make up the shortfall. This would inevitably result in a cut to services. The AARP, an advocacy group for Americans aged 50 and older, warned in a 2019 letter that a balanced-budget amendment would be “devastating for millions.” “A balanced-budget amendment would likely harm Social Security and Medicare, subjecting both programs to potentially deep cuts without regard to the impact on the health and financial security of individuals,” the letter said. The group also noted the detrimental effect the amendment would have on the 11 million disabled Americans who rely on Social Security as well. The Center for American Progress reported in 2018 that a balanced-budget amendment would likely lead to a $308 billion Social Security cut within five years. In the same period, Medicare would be cut by $239 billion and Medicaid by $114 billion. Husted is running for his first full term in the Senate this year. His Democratic challenger is former Sen. Sherrod Brown. In 2024, Brown sponsored the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act, which increased Social Security benefits for public servants, including teachers and police officers.

New list names Collins, Husted among most corrupt lawmakers
End Citizens United, a progressive group dedicated to eliminating dark money in politics, has rolled out a new list of the most corrupt lawmakers in Washington. The list highlights 16 representatives and three senators whom the group says are more beholden to corporate donors than their own constituents. All of the listed lawmakers are Republicans. “They side with Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Tech, and Wall Street while hardworking Americans pay more for everyday essentials like health care, utilities, and rent,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. The senators on the list are Susan Collins of Maine, Jon Husted of Ohio, and Ashley Moody of Florida, all of whom are facing competitive reelection fights this year. End Citizens United reports that Collins has taken more than $8.3 million from corporate PACs throughout her career, much of it from the pharmaceutical and insurance industries. She also has a sizable stock portfolio and opposed a bipartisan push to ban congressional stock trading. Collins’ stock portfolio grew by more than 77% in 2024. During this same period, most Mainers over 65 were spending 10% of their income on health care. In 2022, she voted against the Inflation Reduction Act, which slashed pharmaceutical prices for seniors. Collins also supported the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which slashed corporate tax rates, and voted to advance the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which made deep cuts to Medicaid. Husted, who joined the Senate last year, has accepted more than $550,000 in corporate PAC money. Like Collins, much of this cash came from the insurance industry. Husted also supported the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. End Citizens United also highlights Husted’s ties to billionaire businessman Les Wexner, who was a close associate of deceased sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. Husted accepted $3,500 from Wexner in September 2025, long after Wexner’s ties to Epstein were exposed. Two months after receiving the donation, Husted voted to block a Senate amendment that would have compelled Attorney General Pam Bondi to publicly release investigative documents related to Epstein. “The corrupt politicians on this year’s list take money from corporate special interests and billionaires and use their power to protect those same donors as they raise prices on working families,” Muller said. Notable congresspeople on the list include Michigan Rep. Bill Huizenga, New York Rep. Mike Lawler, Pennsylvania Rep. Rob Bresnahan, and Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles.

Sununu profits from Iran, Venezuela wars as gas prices surge
Republican John Sununu is getting richer off the wars in Iran and Venezuela, according to his personal financial disclosures. This may explain why he is cheering on the conflicts despite polls suggesting they are wildly unpopular. Sununu is currently running for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire, a position he previously held from 2003 to 2009. The bulk of Sununu’s profits have come from his investments in oil and gas companies. As the wars drive up gas prices for consumers, the profits and stock values of those companies are rising as well. “The first quarter is going to be phenomenal for these companies,” Leo Mariani, an analyst at Roth Capital Partners, told Reuters. “I don’t think there’s any way around that.” Last year, Sununu and his wife reported owning between $77,000 and $280,000 in gas and oil stock, including up to $50,000 in ExxonMobil and $65,000 in Shell. This portfolio has grown by 24% since November 2025, with the biggest spikes following the January incursion into Venezuela and the February bombing of Iran. The White House has provided multiple justifications for its Iran intervention, including regime change, protecting Israeli security, and stopping the country from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Joe Kent, who resigned his post as director of the National Counterterrorism Center in protest last month, insisted that the war is unnecessary and dangerous. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran,” Kent said in his resignation letter. “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation.” Sununu, meanwhile, has backed up the White House’s claims. In February, he told the radio show New Hampshire Today that the war was necessary to protect national security and that he would support a continued military presence in the country until the threat is eliminated. “The real issue is that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon,” he said. “For the last 40 years, they have been the largest state sponsor of terrorism, global terrorism, so I think that the effort to eliminate their nuclear program … is the right focus for the administration to have.” In a subsequent interview on the same show, Sununu dismissed concerns about the conflict’s effect on gas prices, saying that “the mission is important and critical.” The White House has been similarly cagey about its rationale for invading Venezuela. Sununu told New Hampshire Today in January, however, that the conflict presented an opportunity for oil and gas development. “I think there is an opportunity for the U.S. to provide technical assistance, advice, even financing to help rebuild [Venezuela’s] economy broadly and in the oil industry in particular,” he said. Polling suggests that Sununu is out of step with most voters. An Ipsos poll found that only 33% of Americans approve of the military action in Venezuela. A Pew Research Center survey found that 61% don’t approve of the conflict in Iran. Since leaving the Senate, Sununu has worked for Akin, a lobbying firm that represents clients in several industries, including energy and national defense. Between 2010 and 2019, Akin reported earning more than $5 million from oil and gas companies, including Shell. In the Senate, Sununu supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Sununu will face former New Zealand ambassador Scott Brown in a September 8 primary. The winner will likely face Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas in the general election.
