Affordable Virginia Calls on Representative Kiggans to Stand Up Against Trump’s Tariffs

Virginia Beach, VA – In response to President Trump’s 25% tariffs going into effect on all goods coming from Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10% tariff on goods coming from China – Affordable Virginia put out the following statement:

“It’s no secret that Trump doesn’t care about the working people in this country who will bear the brunt of these tariffs,” said Emily Yeatts, Affordable Virginia Campaigns Director. “We have been bracing for these tariffs since before he took office. We have been sounding the alarm that these will only benefit corporations and billionaires at the expense of families trying to make ends meet. These tariffs won’t just affect electronics, or gas, or groceries – every household necessity is about to have a bigger price tag, and Virginians can’t afford it. It’s time for Representative Jen Kiggans to speak up against these tariffs that are clearly only benefiting the ultra wealthy to give them huge tax breaks. When will working families get a break? Rep. Kiggans, your constituents can’t afford to have you stay silent.”
