On Health Care: Negotiate prices for prescription drugs with manufacturers

Shea-Porter said she continues to be frustrated by gridlock on Capitol Hill. "We need to work with each other," Shea-Porter said.

She cited a stalemate on prescription drugs as a "classic example" of Washington gridlock. She has long supported allowing the federal government to negotiate prices for prescription drugs with manufacturers. "But we weren't able to get that done, and now, the cost of drugs is skyrocketing," she said.

"It is really about reconnecting with the people," she said. "The people of the district do know me and know I've been an advocate. So I don't have to re-introduce myself, but what I do need to do and will do is work as hard as I can and take nothing for granted."
