Across the country, pharmacists and pharmacy champions had a good showing during the midterm elections. NCPA is proud to support our fellow pharmacists and pharmacy champions and are excited to increase the number of legislators who understand our issues. In Alabama, Senators Billy Beasley (D-28) and Tom Butler (R-2), both pharmacists, won re-election and pharmacist Phillip Rigsby (R-25) won election to the state House.
