Fair and Strategic Trade

Small businesses are already battling high costs and shrinking margins. Add in tariffs and de minimis restrictions, and the financial pressure intensifies - stifling growth, innovation, and survival.

Small Business Challenges: Tariffs are driving up costs, with some small businesses facing up to $630,000 in added annual expenses, forcing price hikes, pay cuts, and reduced growth plans.

*March 2025
  • Tariffs = A Tax on All Americans


    Sharp tariff hikes could raise consumer prices by 5%, costing households an extra $1,900 to $7,600 per year. Essentials like groceries, electronics, clothing, and vehicles will become more expensive, hitting Americans where it hurts most.

  • What We Need


    We need policies that protect access to affordable goods, safeguard American jobs in import reliant industries, and empower small businesses to thrive, not just survive.
