I am particularly worried about the impact of runaway premiums on Medicare beneficiaries, especially during this period of rapid inflation. I will also work against government takeover of prescription drug pricing, which would only serve to make us more reliant on Chinese medical manufacturing, which proved to be a major Achilles heel during the Covid pandemic."

As your Representative, I will act to restore fiscal responsibility and end Washingtonâs spending problem." (www.scottgryder.com)
