There is no more pressing issue for NW Ohioans than rising costs. A series of arbitrary and reckless tariffs along with an unnecessary war in Iran have pushed many Ohioans to the breaking point. The rising cost of gas, diesel, fertilizer, aluminum, and more has driven up prices everywhere.

Ships traveling between the upper Great Lakes and the Atlantic must pass through Canada’s Welland Canal. The 27-mile canal and all eight of its locks are entirely in Ontario, meaning a strategically important portion of U.S. Great Lakes maritime trade depends on Canadian-controlled infrastructure.

The President’s Canada Tariffs will hit our Great Lakes region hardest—driving costs up for families already struggling to make ends meet. The average Ohio household will see a $2,274 increase in costs and some border Districts, and communities like NW Ohio could see costs go up by over $5,000.
