President Trump Should Commit to Actually Lowering Costs for Hardworking Families

When running for office, President Donald Trump promised to help working-class Americans—people like those I represent in Kansas’ Third District. I share that goal and have worked across the aisle to lower costs for families. That includes reducing the cost of prescription drugs, making groceries and gas more affordable, and rebuilding roads and bridges while creating good-paying jobs.

But the president’s recent executive orders have moved us further from that shared goal. These actions don’t lower costs for hardworking Americans. In fact, many of them will raise costs for families while benefiting special interests and large corporations.

Kansans deserve better. That’s why I’m calling attention to these shortcomings and laying out a path forward toward bipartisan progress that genuinely supports everyday Americans.
