Corporate pricing practices

“Co-sponsored the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act of 2026 to protect consumers from surge pricing and ensure fair, consistent prices for everyday goods.”

“Cracking down on corporate price gougers and their corrupt anti-competitive practices that are jacking up costs on groceries, everyday goods, and farming inputs like fertilizer and seed”

“Crack down on price gouging and anti-competitive practices in the agricultural industry to reduce costs of seed, fertilizer, meat and grain processing, and other costs”

“Everyday Goods: Enact strong price-gouging enforcement, antitrust action, and transparency rules to protect ordinary people. Companies are using their market power to raise prices even when their own costs haven’t increased. We can stop them.”

“Darializa will never take money from corporate PACs, and will fight against monopolies, price gouging, and super PACs.”

“Criminalize corporations that price gouge consumers”

“Took on utilities and fought big businesses gouging consumers”

“In Congress, I’ll crack down on price gouging, make the big guys pay their fair share, and fight corruption.”

“Take on price-gouging corporations to reduce everyday costs.”

“Take on corporations that are price gouging consumers at the gas pump, and at the grocery store.”

“We need to end the chaotic tariffs driving up costs for farmers and working families and crack down on corporations that are ripping off working people.”

“Stopping corporate tax evasion and price gouging”

“I believe in holding corporations accountable. And I stand for a muscular Federal Trade Commission that enforces anti-monopoly laws so the corporations can’t price-gouge us.”

“Punishing big businesses that raise prices on essential goods”

“That’s why I’m committed to lowering costs in real, meaningful ways. This includes cracking down on corporate price gouging and ending the reckless tariff policy that is raising prices on ordinary families and wreaking havoc on Iowa’s economy.”

“Everyday Goods: Enact strong price-gouging enforcement, antitrust action, and transparency rules to protect ordinary people. Companies are using their market power to raise prices even when their own costs haven’t increased. We can stop them.”

“Criminalize corporations that price gouge consumers”

“I believe in holding corporations accountable. And I stand for a muscular Federal Trade Commission that enforces anti-monopoly laws so the corporations can’t price-gouge us.”

“Punishing big businesses that raise prices on essential goods”

“I will ban AI-driven surveillance pricing on essential goods like groceries and strengthen federal enforcement against corporate price gouging so families know they’re paying a fair price.”

“That’s why, when I’m in Congress, I will co-sponsor legislation that prevents companies from price gouging and aims to restore fairness and accountability. It would: Prohibit excessive price increases on essential grocery items that can’t be justified by normal market conditions; Ban “surveillance pricing,” where companies use your personal data or purchasing history to decide what price you pay; Limit the use of technology that allows prices to change constantly without transparency; and Give federal regulators real authority to investigate and enforce violations.”

“Pappas is working to roll back reckless tariffs that are increasing costs of baby and children’s products like car seats, strollers, and clothes for New Hampshire families and he is calling for stronger oversight to protect parents from corporate price gouging.”

“End surveillance pricing to stop companies from using personal data to charge people more than their neighbors.”

“Ban algorithms on grocery pricing to make it illegal for companies to raise the price of groceries based on a specific customer.”

“Roy Cooper has a four-point plan to lower grocery prices. First, he would put an end to the chaotic tariffs that have driven up costs for farmers, who have to pass it on to you, the customer. Second, he’d block the mergers of grocery giants that reduce competition and raise prices. Third, he’d ban the algorithms used to raise prices on specific customers. And fourth, he’d make it illegal for big food producers to coordinate prices and supply information to drive up prices.”

“Ban algorithmic price-fixing at grocery stores that takes advantage of consumers and reduces competition. Dynamic pricing, in which grocery chains change prices based on market conditions and even shoppers’ personal information, is becoming more and more widespread. We need to prohibit the practice and penalize retailers that take advantage of consumers.”

“Ban AI Price Manipulation. Crack Down on Groceries and Goods Price Gouging”

“I will ban AI-driven surveillance pricing on essential goods like groceries and strengthen federal enforcement against corporate price gouging so families know they’re paying a fair price.”

“That’s why, when I’m in Congress, I will co-sponsor legislation that prevents companies from price gouging and aims to restore fairness and accountability.

“Big Tech shouldn’t take advantage of busy parents who are just trying to keep their refrigerators stocked. Pappas is also backing legislation that would ban AI price gouging and prevent big corporations from using people’s personal information to set targeted, tailored prices for goods and services—from a person’s location and demographics, to their search history and mouse movements. Chris knows that fair pricing doesn’t charge working families more just because an algorithm decides they should be squeezed.”

“Earlier this month, Chris Pappas for Senate released the third plank of its Tax Cuts and Lower Costs Blueprint for New Hampshire, focused on bringing down grocery costs for Granite Staters by taking on Trump’s tariffs, cracking down on corporate and AI-driven price gouging, and fighting to protect critical nutrition assistance programs.”

“We want to make sure that there’s fair pricing across the board, that no Americans are being gouged by big corporations that are seeking to use technology and our own data against us.”

“Pappas is working to pass the Stop AI Price Gouging and Wage Fixing Act of 2025 and leading the Lower Grocery Prices Act to stop Big Tech companies and large retailers from using AI to manipulate prices and exploit consumers.”

“New Hampshire’s local businesses don’t charge people based on who they are, what their salary is, or how desperately they need the items in their cart. Chris knows that every Granite Stater should get a fair shot, and the price you pay at the checkout counter shouldn’t depend on what an algorithm thinks it can get away with.”

“He supports rolling back harmful new tariffs on food and everyday essentials, cracking down on AI-driven price discrimination, and protecting the nutrition assistance programs that thousands of working Granite Staters rely on.”

“We also need to eliminate junk fees and surprise medical bills, it is just common sense.”

“Ban junk fees that companies hide from consumers across industries like lodging, ticketing, telecommunications, travel, and more. What you see should be what you pay, with no surprise at checkout.”

“Fight back against excessive junk fees and corporate price gouging that drive up everyday expenses.”

“Fight Against Junk Fees: I will fight to pass laws that protect consumers from surprise charges at the cash register. I will work to save consumers billions of dollars on unfair hidden fees for airfares, tickets, hotels, and banking, and allow consumers to know the real cost of everything upfront.”

“HB25-1090, to ban junk fees and hidden charges so renters and consumers see the true price upfront.”

“Make it illegal for food producers to reduce competition to increase prices using digital tools to collude. Stop companies from using algorithms to coordinate prices and supply information to drive up the cost.”

“Roy Cooper has a four-point plan to lower grocery prices. First, he would put an end to the chaotic tariffs that have driven up costs for farmers, who have to pass it on to you, the customer.

“Crack down on corporations that overcharge us and engage in price-fixing.”
