The Minnesota senator, considering a national campaign, is pushing affordable prescriptions, social media privacy in Congress.
WASHINGTON – Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s early focus in Congress this year is on the kind of popular, consumer-oriented measures that have been a foundation of her Senate career.
At the start of her third term in office and weighing a run for president, Klobuchar in recent weeks has emphasized her renewed push for cheaper prescription drugs, and for tighter privacy laws for social media users. With both, she’s touting collaboration with Republican colleagues in hopes of progress despite a divided Congress.
“Let’s get this done,” Klobuchar says in a video posted on her Twitter account this week, where she argues for three measures she’s sponsored intended to lower prescription prices. “We should be governing from opportunity for the people of America. Not a crisis.”
