Miller, Turner, Carey Silent as Reckless Tariffs Drive Up Back-to-School and Prescription Drug Costs

As Ohio families brace for rising costs on everything from school supplies to prescription drugs, Max Miller, Mike Turner, and Mike Carey are nowhere to be found — not at in-person town halls hearing from their constituents face-to-face, and certainly not standing up for the people they were elected to represent.

Why? Because Miller, Turner, and Carey would have to explain why they’re failing to make life more affordable for hardworking Iowa families.

Making matters worse, Donald Trump is now threatening to impose 250% tariffs on pharmaceutical imports, a move expected to drastically increase the cost of essential medications — and Miller, Turner, and Carey are standing by without objection.

Meanwhile, parents are starting back-to-school shopping early amid fears that tariffs will raise prices on supplies and the overwhelming majority of Americans are stressed about the rising cost of groceries.

As families scramble to get by, Miller, Turner, and Carey’s big accomplishment was voting to rip away health care and food assistance from tens of thousands of their own constituents.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Max Miller, Mike Turner, and Mike Carey promised to lower costs — but they’ve done the opposite. Instead, they’re backing reckless tariffs, ignoring rising prices, and abandoning the hardworking Ohio families they were elected to serve.”
