IDP Chair Hart Issues Statement on Rising Inflation

DES MOINES - Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart released the following statement regarding the announcement that inflation numbers picked up again in June:

“President Trump and Republicans in Congress were elected to bring down costs for regular families. Instead, they have put forth policies that will do the opposite. The president’s tariffs are driving up costs for Iowans and threatening Iowa’s economy, which has already shrunk more than any other state in the first quarter. Iowans can’t afford higher costs and a slowing economy. We need new ideas and real change.”
