“In the Senate, he’ll cut taxes for working people, cap credit card interest rates, and lower the cost of rent, groceries, utilities, and gas by making billionaires and giant corporations pay their fair share.”

“Lower grocery costs: Stand up to attacks against SNAP and WIC, increase oversight into mergers and acquisitions that artificially jack up prices, remove tariffs on produce that can’t be grown in the United States, and reduce barriers to entry for new grocery providers to increase market competition.”

“Impose a federal ban on price gouging on food so Iowans pay less at the grocery store.”

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.”

“Fund an overwhelming response to the animal disease outbreaks driving up the price of eggs and beef. 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.”

“Support a strong agricultural workforce: Expand workforce development to train new workers in the industry, support farmer-to-farmer programs, and help farmers and ranchers lower food costs for Americans by responsibly hiring migrant workers when they can’t find Americans to fill their jobs — including by simplifying the H-2A visa program application and ensuring strong labor standards on those visas so that employers do not game the system to displace American workers and suppress their wages.”
