MO-02: Wagner Chooses Special Interest Campaign Donors Over Missourians
Today, the DCCC released two new TV ads – “Two Phones” and “Waiting” – reminding voters that Congresswoman Ann Wagner will always side with the big corporations and special interests that fund her campaign over them. Congresswoman Ann Wagner – who is so successful at being a high-dollar fundraiser that she was “reward[ed]… with [a] plum overseas appointment” as U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg – has taken more than $1.3 million in campaign donations from the drug and insurance industries over her career. It’s no wonder, then, that Wagner voted against the bipartisan bill to lower the cost of prescription drugs and voted five times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which protects 320,500 Missourians in the 2nd District with a pre-existing condition.
“Two Phones” and “Waiting” will begin airing today, September 1, throughout the district on broadcast in the St. Louis media market.
“Congresswoman Ann Wagner is the epitome of the Washington swamp. She rakes in millions of dollars from corporate special interests, then votes their way in Washington – her constituents be damned. It’s clear where Wagner’s priorities are, and they aren’t with voters in suburban St. Louis,” said DCCC Spokesperson Courtney Rice.
