Brian Bengs for Senate
John Thune takes us South Dakota voters for granted. He thinks our Senate seat is his because he has the “R” next to his name. Meanwhile, he votes against our best interests with opposition to: - Capping insulin at $35 a month - Authorizing Medicare to negotiate cheaper drug prices - Extending the $600 per month Child Tax Credit to working families
