Prices are at all-time highs and NW Ohioans are feeling it. The Federal Reserve found prices for consumer goods would have decreased 0.9% in 2025, but instead they increased 2.9% due to the President’s reckless across the board tariffs. This tariff regime is responsible for our affordability crisis.

Selling out our farmers, producers, growers, ranchers, and cattlemen by importing hundreds of thousands of pounds of foreign beef on taxpayer dime is not the answer. Undermining American agriculture while bailing out Argentina is shameful.

For 2 years this Administration has taken efforts that severely harmed our economy—wage growth is falling, while unemployment is on the rise. Their reckless across the board tariffs on our closest allies, war of choice in Iran, and tax breaks for Billionaires haven't made life more affordable.

In their first 2 years, the Trump Administration are expected to spend nearly $2 Billion on vanity projects. That could cover #OH09‘s costs for: ⚫ 1 month of Rent ⚫ 1 month of Groceries ⚫ 1 month of ever rising Electric Bills ⚫ 1 year of Medical Care for every veteran . . . with change to spare.

The tariffs on Canada and the war in Iran are causing the price of gas and diesel to skyrocket. This week in Napoleon, Henry County I saw Ohioans paying $4.35 for a gallon of regular, and $6.89 for a gallon of diesel. This is unsustainable for our hardworking NW Ohio families, truckers, and farmers.

As Dictator Putin’s missiles continue to rain down on innocent Ukrainian civilians, we can, and must send air defenses to help save their lives. Here in NW Ohio we know that working with our Ukrainian Allies makes us all stronger, and protects our NATO Allies who sit on Ukraine’s border.

Honored to receive Growth Energy’s 2026 Fueling Growth Award for my work championing biofuels. Nearly half of NW Ohio farmers, producers, and growers’ income comes from biofuels that utilize corn and soy. I will always fight for those who make and grow what makes and grows America.

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.

Great to meet with Ohioans from the VFW this week in DC. It’s an honor to be with those who served the cause of Liberty abroad. I will always stand up for our veterans, and work to pass legislation like the Major Richard Star Act which will help them to get the pay and benefits they deserve.

Tonight an overwhelming bipartisan majority voted 262-159 to pass Russia Sanctions legislation I led, and aid our ally Ukraine in her fight for Freedom and Liberty as they approach a long, cold, winter. Just like in WWII we stand with Liberty first, now, and always. Freedom means never surrender.

Tariffs are taxes on the American people. They increase the cost of everything. Rising prices especially hit hard in my home state of Ohio, the largest exporter of goods to Canada in the Great Lakes region. Our Great Lakes economy is the third largest in the world, amounting to over $6 Trillion.

Hardworking NW Ohio farmers, producers, and growers are getting run over by the President’s tariff agenda. Farmers are getting squeezed on both sides by high input costs and dropping profits caused by the war in Iran and unnecessary trade wars. The Administration should fight FOR us, not against us.

ICMYI: @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social introduced a bill that roots out utility corruption. In Ohio, a utility bribed public officials and increased energy prices, passing along billions of dollars of costs to ratepayers. We deserve laws to block these schemes and hold the crooks accountable.

The horrific attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon 25 years ago changed our nation forever. Nearly 3,000 American lives were lost that day. Many thousands more 9/11 first responders have lost their lives since from extreme complications they experienced. We will never forget.

Global oil prices surged past $100 a barrel as the war in Iran drags on, and we are paying the price at the pump. The President said relief won't come for a “little bit longer.” Hardworking Ohio families need action now, not in a few months—this economy is unaffordable, and there isn’t time to wait.

This Labor Day thinking of my mother who was a @UAW.org union organizer and my father who retired from Toledo Jeep. They showed me that there is power in a union. Union membership means better wages, good benefits, and a safe and secure retirement. Thank you to all who keep those values alive today.

The violence directed at Dr. Amy Acton today in Ohio is abhorrent and underscores once again the urgent need to lower the temperature in our politics and civil society. There is no place for political violence or violence of any kind. Praying for the wellbeing & full recovery of those injured today.

Always great to visit Schmucker’s for lunch and a slice of their famous homemade pie. This historic Toledo institution has been owned and operated by 3 generations of the Schmucker family since 1948. NW Ohioans and others from near and far always enjoy their “good home cooking.”
