| Max Miller has spent his time in Congress championing a disastrous, cost-spiking agenda that’s raising prices across the board for hardworking Ohio families.
Now, Miller is being put on blast by a Medina grandmother and caregiver for leaving his constituents behind, writing that “costs are soaring thanks in large part to the president’s tariffs, which he enacted with the support of my congressman…Max Miller.”
Her demands couldn’t be clearer: “It’s being able to buy beef, milk, and fresh produce without doing mental math at the register.”
Will Max Miller answer to his constituents?
REMINDER: Miller voted multiple times to rubber-stamp Trump’s tariffs that have cost the average American household more than $2,500 each, while Ohio families are already paying over $1,500 more on average due to Miller’s cost-spiking agenda.

Ohio Capital Journal: View from a Medina, Ohio kitchen table: The Trump economy has created an affordability crisis
- As a retired Ohio high school English teacher, I spent fourteen years grading essays. I know what a genuine “A” looks like. It isn’t earned with a loud voice or by writing in ALL CAPS; it requires proof, consistency, and a firm grasp of the facts.
- [Trump] echoed similar boasts to his “A+++++” grade for the economy, claims that he has “won affordability,” and that costs are “plummeting.”
- But from my kitchen table in Medina, those grades look like they were handed out before the work was even turned in.
- When the president speaks of a booming economy, I find myself asking: “Booming for who?”
- The only thing I feel is booming are the prices I’m paying at the grocery store, the increasing utility costs, and a deep concern about whether older Americans have saved enough to live a comfortable retirement after a lifetime of hard work.
- Our costs are soaring thanks in large part to the president’s tariffs, which he enacted with the support of my congressman, Ohio Republican U.S. Rep. Max Miller.
- The president claims victory over inflation, but the reality for Ohio families is a constant exercise in stretching the dollar.
- “Affordability” isn’t a trophy you win; it’s a lived experience. It’s being able to buy beef, milk, and fresh produce without doing mental math at the register.
- If the economy is truly deserving of a “plus-plus-plus” grade, why do so many Americans feel like we’re falling further and further behind?
- I don’t want a cheerleader-in-chief; I want a president who can look at my grocery receipt and say, “I see this, and I know we have more work to do.”
- But that’s not what we heard from him. He presented no plans to cut my grocery bill. He ignored the fact that if his 15% global tariff is made permanent, it will cost families like mine $1,300 a year on average, even as his trade war fails to deliver the manufacturing renaissance we were promised.
- If the president and his allies refuse to do their homework, Americans should deliver a firm message about our experiences and expectations. I know I will.
