Jeff Crank knew this would happen– he himself said last cycle that he disagreed with Trump's tariff policies. Yet, he voted for them anyway. He voted for them EIGHT times. We cannot afford another two years of someone who votes against their community's interests, even when they know it's wrong.

Trump and Jeff Crank's tariff policies are not only destructive to our small business community and are driving up the prices of everyday goods, but they're also not even achieving what they were created to do. The US trade deficit has only gone up.

ICE continues to terrorize our communities with zero accountability; this time in New York, they shot a man with his 5-year-old child in the car. ICE must be reined in before more senseless violence continues. ICE must not get another dime until reforms. The violence must end.

Just weeks after Congress gave Trump more tariff power under the guise of sanctions on Russia, he reminds us of just how little he can be trusted. Instead of ending his disastrous war that has sent your costs soaring, Trump is opening the door for the U.S. to bankroll Putin's war machine.
