Miller-backed War, Tariffs Are Spiking Prices And Hurting Ohio’s Economy [Ohio Capital Journal]

New report confirms Miller-backed agenda is hitting Ohioans hard at the gas pump and grocery store
New reporting from Ohio Capital Journal confirms what Northeast Ohio families and farmers have been feeling for months: Max Miller’s reckless agenda is driving up costs on gas, groceries, and manufacturing — and local businesses across the state are sounding the alarm.

Here’s how Max Miller’s extreme agenda is hitting Northeast Ohioans:

  • Gas prices in Ohio have surged by more than one-third since Trump launched his war of choice.
  • Grocers report customers cutting back on trips and purchases as fuel prices strain their wallets.
  • Tariffs have already raised consumer costs by 1.5%.
  • Manufacturers say tariffs are spiking prices on metals like copper, steel, and aluminum.
  • Some fertilizer prices have spiked as much as 50% nationally, right in the middle of planting season.

REMINDER: Miller voted repeatedly to protect Trump’s price-hiking tariffs and has stood by an unpopular war that is driving up costs for the families and farmers he was elected to represent.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Max Miller has spent his time in Washington rubber-stamping extreme Republicans’ reckless agenda, and now Ohio families and farmers are paying the price. While working Ohioans are stretched thin by skyrocketing gas and grocery costs, Miller is nowhere to be found.”
