If elected, what could you realistically do as a member of Congress to bring down the cost of essentials like gas and groceries?

I do hear about that all the time.

That is one of the biggest issues that central Kentuckians are facing.

Everything costs too much, and the good thing is we can fix that just by Congress doing its dang job, right? These tariffs that are taxes being passed on to all of us, adding $1,000 to every central Kentucky household, Congress has control over that in the Constitution.

The only reason these tariffs have been allowed to be in place is because Congress has been too scared and too spineless to stand up to them.

Similarly, the war in Iran is driving up gas and diesel costs all over central Kentucky.

It's crushing everyday Kentuckians, especially our farming community.

What should that legislation look like, and are you concerned that putting up too many guardrails could slow innovation and allow countries like China to dominate the AI race?
