Holiday prices are higher this year. Trump’s tariffs are driving up the cost of toys, electronics, clothes, and everyday gifts. Families in Nevada shouldn’t have to pay “tariff taxes” on their holiday shopping.
How Tariffs Will Affect Holiday Shopping This Year
For starters, prices will be higher, and there will be less to choose from.

Small businesses across the country, including here in Nevada, are preparing for higher prices again. They’re facing higher shipping costs, higher tariff costs, and higher prices across their supply chains.
Most Small Businesses Planning Price Hikes As Inflation Escalates, Report Finds
Despite mounting pressure from tariffs and rising costs, small businesses remain “cautiously optimistic,” according to a Bank of America report.

Nevadans have been loud and clear: health care is a lifeline, not a luxury. Thank you to everyone who filled out my Feedback Portal, your stories guide my work every day.
Andrea’s message was simple and urgent: reliable Medicare and access to mental health care.

Donald Trump has been in office for 306 days. Consumer confidence has fallen, job growth is slowing, and families are paying more because of his tariff-driven trade wars. This is not what a strong economy looks like. www.economist.com/interactive/...

ACA credits are set to expire, families are bracing for higher costs, but these are your priorities, Mr. President? Hosting Saudi-backed golf tournaments?
Trump Received Surprisingly Little For Hosting Saudi-Backed Golf Events
It took big checks for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf to lure some of the biggest stars away from the PGA Tour. Donald Trump, however, jumped on board for relative pennies.

Here’s the hard truth: premium tax credits under the ACA are set to expire, and Nevada’s hardworking families will pay the price. Higher costs and fewer protections means fewer people will be insured. We must extend these credits now.
Obamacare tax credits look likely to expire as Trump rules out an extension
Trump told Republicans not to "waste" their time on extending the enhanced ACA subsidies set to expire, saying he'd only support "sending the money directly back to the people."

On #RuralHealthDay, I’m sounding the alarm: Republican health care cuts hit rural Nevada the hardest. Providers across my 50,000 square-mile district told me directly: these cuts mean fewer nurses, fewer hospitals, diminished care, and longer distances to get treatment.

A sluggish August + a delayed September report = zero clarity and no plan.

The reason we don’t have the latest jobs number isn’t because hiring is strong, it’s because federal workers who calculate them were furloughed during the Republican shutdown.
Labor Department confirms cancellation of October jobs report
The move was largely anticipated as federal workers were unable to conduct a key household survey due to the government shutdown.

Another day, another way that the Trump administration is harming the American people. Nevadans deserve leaders focused on lowering costs — not policies that make travel, groceries, and everyday life more expensive.

Nevadans are paying more at the grocery store, and Thanksgiving is no exception. Turkey prices are creeping up from inflation and the #TrumpTariffs. Throw a bird-flu outbreak into the mix, and the result is higher prices hitting every Nevada family this holiday season. www.npr.org/2025/11/17/n...

Trump is sending up to $40 billion to Argentina. I want to give it back to the American people. My bill, the H.E.A.L.T.H. (Helping Every American Lower Their Healthcare) Act, uses those funds to extend #ACA health care tax credits and lower premiums for millions of Americans.

Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, prices keep climbing, from utilities to groceries and even your morning cup of coffee.
Tariffs, labor shortages, and supply chain issues are driving costs higher and hitting working families the hardest.

The shutdown may be over, but the Republican health care crisis continues. Without ACA tax credits, premiums for 28,000 of my constituents are skyrocketing to double or even triple what they were. I’m still fighting to cancel the cuts and save affordable health care. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Trump ran on “fixing the economy,” but his tariff taxes and broken promises are hitting Nevada families, workers, and small businesses hard. When people pay more, they travel less – and our entire state struggles. #TrumpSlump

This is all part of the #TrumpSlump. Trump’s reckless tariffs are hitting Nevada hard – driving up prices and squeezing everyday families. He promised to fix the economy, but now Nevadans are paying the price. Don’t believe me? Swipe for the receipts.

Health care has been at the center of the #RepublicanShutdown since Day One. I’m about to vote NO on the Senate Republican proposal to temporarily fund government while doing nothing to assure working Nevadans that they will have access to affordable health care going forward.
