“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.”

Avian influenza cost American consumers $14.5 billion in higher egg prices in a single year, and with the New World Screwworm now detected in cattle in Texas, beef prices – already forecast to rise 12% this year – are at risk of climbing even higher. Congress must fully fund the animal disease vaccine bank, laboratory network, and preparedness programs; accelerate the new domestic sterile-fly production facility; and pass the bipartisan Rural Veterinary Workforce Act so rural Kansas can recruit large-animal vets.”

“Give agriculture the stable, legal workforce it needs to keep food affordable. Labor shortages on cow-calf operations, farms, and dairies drive up the cost of producing food, and those costs land on Kansas families at the checkout line. Congress must reform the broken H-2A guest-worker program — permitting year-round visas that reflect modern needs, lowering compliance costs, and giving existing workers a path to legal status.”

“Make fertilizer in America. The wars with Iran and in Ukraine caused huge increases in fertilizer costs, and those costs land directly on grocery shelves. USDA’s Fertilizer Production Expansion Program has already invested in dozens of facilities — including in Kansas — and is being expanded with accelerated permitting. Congress should supercharge it.”

“Food and Groceries: Congress has to take back control of the tariff power to combat rising costs, protect consumers against predatory spread pricing, and increase American food production and strengthen our supply chains by supporting local family farms.”

“Small businesses are the backbone of Central Kentucky, and they’re getting crushed by tariffs that are just taxes on our businesses and consumers. Since this trade war started, we’ve seen retaliatory tariffs hit our markets, exports drop sharply, bourbon distillers shutter shops, and our farmers unable to sell their crops. Plus, prices continue to skyrocket, with staples like beef and coffee reaching record highs and burdening hardworking families’ grocery budgets. They’re also costing Kentucky families an extra $1300 per year, and have already been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.”

“It is vital that we rein in spending. High inflation is a hidden tax on Americans at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and in every aspect of our lives.”

“Mainers are getting crushed by the cost of health care, housing, groceries and heat.”

“The cost of living shouldn’t force families to choose between paying the rent, putting food on the table, and giving their kids a good start. My plan would take on the biggest costs facing North Shore families, with clear goals to make childcare, housing, energy, health care, and raising a family more affordable.”

“Inflation, tariffs, and economic inequality are eroding the American Dream. From housing and health care to child care and groceries, everyday prices are out of control, and government services are too slow to help when people need them most. More and more Americans feel like they don’t have a fair shot at success.”

“I’m fighting for every underdog who works hard but still can’t get ahead, and for families who can’t afford groceries, child care, health care, or assisted living.”

“Juliana knows Illinoisans work hard, and she believes they should be able to afford a comfortable, dignified life where they can put food on the table without having to worry about making rent or skipping a dose of medication to afford it.”

“Our economy should reward hard work, not connections or special interests. I believe in a strong floor and no ceiling: everyone should have the security to build a good life and the freedom to rise as far as their talent and hard work can take them. Families are working harder than ever but struggling to keep up with the cost of housing, childcare, healthcare, and groceries. It should not take two jobs to make ends meet or a lifetime of work to retire in dignity and stability.”
