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 illegal and costly tariffs so families aren’t forced to pay higher prices for groceries, household goods, and everyday essentials.”

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.”

“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.

“Keep more jobs in Texas with fair trade policies, not counterproductive tariffs: Repeal the Trump Administration’s overly broad tariffs that are hurting consumers and businesses. Instead, advocate for and approve trade deal protections that prevent foreign competitors from undercutting American workers by exploiting weak labor laws abroad.”

“End pointless tariffs If we want to bring back American manufacturing, we need a real plan to make sure we do it right. This includes investing in work and apprenticeship programs, our agricultural, manufacturing, and technology sectors, while working with global partners and making sure they abide by our terms. But angering our trading partners with frivolous tariffs has killed the revenue of farmers, and small businesses across the country.”

“Use tariffs responsibly. When administered thoughtfully, tariffs can be a powerful tool for encouraging domestic production and protecting American jobs–but what we’ve seen over the past couple years has been a reckless, destructive tariff policy that’s hurt Montana farmers and ranchers, and injected harmful volatility into global markets. We should use tariffs to discourage our companies from offshoring jobs and other countries from cheating–while creating protections for critical industries like Montana’s ag producers. We should not use tariffs to punish our allies and create pointless chaos that raises costs for working families.”

“Now, I support using tariffs strategically to protect American workers and critical industries. But retaliatory tariffs waged with no real strategy or plan are hardly protecting American workers, and in fact, they are hurting working families.”

“Second, I want to end the blanket tariffs that have made everything we buy more expensive. I support targeted tariffs to protect American workers, but the chaotic, reckless blanket tariffs are way too broad and end up driving prices on food, housing, and construction.”

“Abdul will fight back against Donald Trump’s illegal trade wars and work to refund farmers for the costs his devastating tariffs have inflicted on farms across the state.”

“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.”

“Revlon, Costco, FedEx and other large companies are in court now demanding a refund. I believe Jim, Marty and countless others, as well as the customers who stuck with them through this chaos deserve to get their money back just as much as those giant corporations and I will fight to get them the refunds they are owed.”
