As Trump Tariffs Hike Costs, Wisconsin Republicans Vote to Make it Harder for Wisconsin Families to Make Ends Meet

As Trump’s tariffs continue to threaten Wisconsin’s economy and thousands of Wisconsin jobs are on the line due to the Trump Administration’s mass layoffs, state Republicans have yet to stand up for Wisconsin families or produce a plan that will make life more affordable for constituents.

MADISON, Wis. — In response to Wisconsin Republicans’ misplaced priorities on the State Assembly floor this afternoon, A Better Wisconsin Together released the following statement:

“Legislative Republicans continue to put their priorities in all the wrong places, at the expense of Wisconsin families.

“As Trump’s tariffs continue to threaten Wisconsin’s economy and thousands of Wisconsin jobs are on the line due to the Trump Administration’s mass layoffs, state Republicans have yet to stand up for Wisconsin families or produce a plan that will make life more affordable for constituents.

“Instead, they spent their time on the Assembly floor today advancing a bill that would actually make it harder for Wisconsin families to make ends meet when they need it most.

“Republican lawmakers have had every opportunity to follow the lead of Governor Evers and legislative Democrats to protect Wisconsinites and help our economy flourish in the face of the chaos unfolding federally, but are actively choosing not to. Our families deserve better.”
