Tariffs

“Look, I will vote to roll back the tariffs.”

“Roy Cooper reiterated his support for an end to the administration’s reckless tariff policy that has raised prices on North Carolinians following the Supreme Court decision that most were illegal.”

“This erratic and chaotic trade war has raised costs on hardworking families and small businesses across North Carolina who are already grappling with high prices and expensive health care. Working families are getting crushed and this ruling is clear — these tariffs are unlawful and have got to end.”

“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.”

“Support Our Farmers and Stop Chaotic Tariffs. Tariffs drive up costs on farmers who have to pass the costs along to restaurants, grocery stores and hardworking North Carolinians.”

“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.”

“The administration’s chaotic tariffs are wreaking havoc on farmers, who can barely get by because their costs are being driven up (CBS 17, March 2026). Roy would put an end to these tariffs, and make sure that farmers who keep our state moving can thrive.”

“End self-destructive tariffs and unnecessary wars, which are driving up energy costs and hurting our ability to add energy capacity. Washington has repeatedly taken actions that directly increase costs and reduce affordability for Kansas families. When Washington imposes sweeping tariff taxes without a vote, the bill lands on Kansas farmers, manufacturers, and families in the form of higher prices on everything from equipment and fertilizer to groceries. The Constitution gives Congress responsibility over trade, and Congress should use it. Adam would prevent future administrations from harming Kansans by requiring congressional approval for new tariffs, and to publish the real cost to American families before those tariffs take effect. This is not a partisan idea. Kansas’s own Senator Jerry Moran has joined a bipartisan bill, the Trade Review Act, led by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington, to require exactly that.”

“The same across-the-board tariffs raising prices at the store are driving up the cost of building a new home by thousands of dollars and resulting in hundreds of thousands of new homes not being built.

“That’s why I’m fighting to end Trump’s tariffs and calling for the Trump Administration to refund small businesses for the overpayments they were forced to make.

“Chris knows that seniors, veterans, parents, and children deserve affordable groceries. He’s fighting to restore funding for SNAP and pushing to roll back the Trump Administration’s blanket tariffs driving up costs.”

“I’m fighting to exempt small businesses and to overturn Donald Trump’s reckless tariffs that are weighing down our economy and creating so much uncertainty. We must focus on supporting our Main Street small businesses, lowering costs, and building a fair economy.”

“Peggy supports eliminating tariffs that are devastating Minnesota farmers, while maintaining those protections that are vital for industries like Minnesota iron mining, and ensuring that farmers receive aid to support them as we rebuild the agricultural market access Trump has destroyed.”

“Pappas’s Small Business RELIEF Act would exempt New Hampshire small businesses from global baseline and reciprocal tariffs and issue refunds to those that have already been forced to shoulder the costs of Washington’s trade war.”

“That’s why I’m fighting to end Trump’s tariffs and calling for the Trump Administration to refund small businesses for the overpayments they were forced to make.

“Pappas is also fighting to exempt New Hampshire small businesses from tariffs and refund the money they’ve already paid — especially following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Trump’s trade war — because he believes Granite Staters shouldn’t have to pay the price for reckless economic policies that make it harder to afford the basics.”

“Pass a cost-of-living tax cut for the middle class: Expand the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, restore the ACA Tax Credits, and provide a tariff rebate to Americans who have been paying too much for everything, and pay for it by closing tax loopholes and making the wealthiest Americans and giant corporations pay their fair share.”

“We must protect and expand prevailing wage protections and champion worker-centered trade policies, including strategic tariffs to grow good union jobs.”

“I believe in bringing dignified, well-paying jobs to Michigan. That means investing in the research, development, and growth of the technologies of the future while using tools like tariffs in a steady, thoughtful, and targeted way to protect them as they grow.”

“I support targeted, smart tariffs that would help protect Michigan manufacturing and incubate the industries of the future with unions at the forefront. These tariffs would focus on growth industries, rely on clearly communicated benchmarks with trading partners, and sunset as American manufacturers established themselves.”

“Protect seniors from higher prices fueled by tariffs. Tariffs act as a hidden tax that ends up baked into the price of groceries, medications, utilities, and household goods — an estimated $1,700 a year for the average household — and they fall hardest on seniors getting by on a fixed Social Security check that doesn’t rise when those prices do. Requiring congressional approval before new tariffs take effect — like the Constitution requires — and publishing what those tariffs will cost families before they’re enacted, would protect the Kansans least able to bear them.”

“The same across-the-board tariffs raising prices at the store are driving up the cost of building a new home by thousands of dollars and resulting in hundreds of thousands of new homes not being built.
