| As reported by the Alaska Beacon, last week’s vote to end cost-raising tariffs on Canadian imports “offered a test for House Republicans’ willingness to stand with Trump or with Americans calling for an end to the tariffs.”
Nick Begich failed that test.
Begich sided with his party leadership to keep reckless tariffs in place, even as they drive up costs by an average of $1,000 a year per household.
REMINDER: Begich has repeatedly rubber-stamped price-hiking tariffs, voting twice just last week to protect them. He did the same in March of last year and again in September, quadrupling down on policies that raise costs for working families.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Nick Begich promised to lower the cost of living, but instead he’s protecting price-spiking tariffs harming Alaska’s economy and footing families with the bill. If he thinks Alaskans won’t notice higher prices, he’s sorely mistaken.” |
