Trumpflation has arrived

Trump has been slapping drastically high tariffs on many countries, and the fallout is hitting home.

Trumpflation has arrived, and tariffs are crushing our local businesses.

When I recently sat down with business leaders in Bend, they told me how these chaotic tariffs are impacting the local economy — and they're hurting working people.

People want their elected officials to deliver on policies that make their lives better. Folks are already struggling to afford rent, feed their families, and pay for health care. Donald Trump's tariff shenanigans will do nothing to alleviate the stress ordinary Americans are under.

We've been here before. Time and time again, Democrats have had to step in and clean up the economic wreckage left behind by Republican presidents, and this disaster is going to be no different. Working families need real help, not economic sabotage.

I won't stand by while Trump gambles with the jobs and lives of working Americans.

Onward!
