CANTON – Democratic Party congressional candidate Tedra Cobb of Canton has released two new digital ads about drug costs.

The announcement from Cobb’s campaign says the ads highlight incumbent Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik’s vote against H.R.3, the Elijah Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act. The Congressional Budget Office estimates this bill would save $456 Billion and lower the cost of prescription drugs.

The ads are titled “Wrong For Northern New York” and “Northern New York First.”

One of the key provisions in the bill allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices, according to Cobb’s announcement. She charges that Stefanik has accepted $200,000 from the health insurance and pharmaceutical industry and has voted to raise the cost of prescription drugs and gut protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

“Despite the thousands struggling in this district to pay for their medications, Elise Stefanik again chose her donors and their profit margins over our struggling families,” said Cobb in the announcement. “I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money. My vote will never be for sale. I fought to lower the cost of prescription drugs as a County Legislator, and I’ll continue that fight in Congress.”

With her current campaign, Cobb is trying a second time to oust Stefanik from the 21st District seat. She began her run against Stefanik two years ago challenging the congresswoman on her stands on the Affordable Care Act and health care policy in general. Cobb has advocated improved health care for northern New Yorkers for many years.
