NEW AD: Big Pharma CEO Bob Hugin Hurt Cancer Patients.
He’s Wrong For New Jersey

“Bob Hugin got rich by exploiting people with incurable blood cancer, and New Jersey voters need to know that before they vote,” said David Mitchell, a cancer patient who took Hugin’s drug for more than five years and the founder of Patients For Affordable Drugs Action. “He doubled the price of cancer drugs, blocked cheaper generics, and pocketed more than $100 million for himself. He is wrong for New Jersey and America.”

In addition to its work in New Jersey, Patients For Affordable Drugs Action is spending millions more in 2018 campaigns to defeat politicians who are in the pockets of Big Pharma, including Sen. Carper (D-DE) and Big Pharma ally Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA), and to help elect candidates who will stand up for patients and fight for lower drug prices, including Sen. McCaskill (D-MO) and Rep. David McKinley (R-WV).

In 2016, Big Pharma spent $247 million lobbying, and in the last election cycle donated $29.3 million to help elect politicians. Patients For Affordable Drugs Action received principal funding from the Action Now Initiative, a political advocacy organization founded by Laura and John Arnold. Patients For Affordable Drugs Action is an independent organization and refuses funding from any organization that profits from the development or distribution of prescription drugs.
