Issue Position: Fighting for Seniors

Social Media

Claire has led multiple investigations into the exploitation of seniors. She introduced bipartisan legislation to help regulators spot and stop common scams against our seniors, and recently advanced a bipartisan bill to encourage and allow financial institutions to report suspected exploitation to authorities. She also worked across the aisle to pass a bipartisan bill to make hearing aids available over the counter -- increasing access and lowering costs.

Witnessing the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs, Claire also worked with her colleagues to conduct a bipartisan investigation into why pharmaceutical companies were raising prices on consumers. This investigation led to bipartisan legislation to increase competition in the pharmaceutical market and lower the cost of prescription drugs.

Claire has traveled across Missouri and held over 50 town halls in just over a year to hear directly from seniors about what they need for retirement, so she can be a better advocate for them in the Senate.
