Trump calls affordability “a con job”

Trump called affordability "a con job."

A con job.

Are you as angry as I am?

Trump's tariffs and energy strategy are jacking up the cost of our electric bills, groceries, and just about everything — as well as higher rents and home prices pressing families to the wall.

I'm taking on the corporate monopolies and billionaire interests that are squeezing families dry. I'm pushing for clean, cheaper energy, affordable housing, and fair drug prices — we should get the lowest prices in the developed world, not the highest!

But I need a strong grassroots team behind me to win these fights.

With the end of the year approaching, your support is critical. Chip in ${{get('ask')}} today to power our campaign and strengthen the grassroots movement that will fight Trump's agenda and defend Oregon values in 2026.
