Dear Friends and Neighbors,
With election season behind us, we can now look ahead. First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for your trust in me. I will continue championing pragmatic solutions that work for a better Oregon for everyone.
Over the next few weeks, I will continue to prepare for the 2025 Legislative Session. Legislative Days will be the second week of December and will be a preview for the Legislative Session, which starts the second week of January.
Prescription drug prices are a topic I know is important to all families in our community. This year, I passed a bill to lower prescription costs for high-risk individuals, but there is so much more work to be done. On December 4th, I will be on a panel to discuss reducing drug prices in Oregon, and I invite you to participate! More information is below.
I also want to hear from you in the coming weeks. My door is always open if you have questions, concerns, or ideas for improving our district. Our work in Salem only succeeds when driven by the voices of the people I serve.
Warmly,
 Representative Emerson Levy
House District 53
We invite you to join us for this year’s public hearing on prescription drug prices on Wednesday, Dec. 4, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. You can attend in person or through Zoom. The address and information is available here: https://dfr.oregon.gov/drugtransparency/Pages/public-hearings.aspx. If you can’t make it a recording will be available and you can also see videos and documents from prior hearings. Invited speakers will be presenting on these topics:
- Drug advertising – Who really pays for drug advertising and is what you see what you get?
- Drug rebates – Why are rebates necessary and how do they help or harm the consumer? How do they affect what drugs are available?
We also encourage you to participate in one of the following ways:
- Share stories about how drug prices have impacted you. We will include these (without your personal information) in our 2024 legislative report. Share using this Qualtrics survey link: https://dcbs.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_byGAiKKDFnltcfY
- Give testimony during the hearing. There will be two opportunities for public comment. If you would like to sign up ahead of time to give public comment, email us at rx.prices@dcbs.oregon.gov.
- Provide written testimony which will be published on our webpage. You can provide that before or after the hearing to rx.prices@dcbs.oregon.gov.
