Blakey Announces for Commission District 3
Eric Blakey

To: Citizens of Churchill County 

My name is Eric Blakey, and I would like to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for the seat of Churchill County Commissioner, District #3. 

I have been a citizen of Churchill County since 1996 and have engaged with the community along the way through many different avenues such as; 

• Past Member of the Churchill County Youth Softball Association, serving as a Board Member & President for many years

• Retired Member of the Fallon-Churchill Fire Department with 20 years of service, during my career I held the positions of Firefighter, Captain, & Assistant Chief 

• Current Chairman of the Churchill County Planning Commission, serving 6 plus years 

• Current Member of the Churchill County Federal Credit Union Board of Directors 

Churchill County is changing at a fast pace and now is the time for our community to have the right leadership to help our Citizens navigate through these times together for the best outcome for all, while preserving our heritage, agriculture needs, protecting our water resources, and managing growth in housing, both traditional & affordable as it comes our way.

These are just a few of my ideals and why we need great representation. I believe I’m a strong, viable candidate to balance both the economic and physical growth of Churchill County as we move forward into the future, I look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail. 

Best Regards,

Eric Blakey

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
