Cost of Living Keeps Rising. Why Won’t It Stop?

Apr 22, 2026

Let’s talk about what’s really happening to your wallet.

Something is terribly wrong.

You’re buying the same groceries — but spending more.

You’re driving the same miles — but paying more.

You’re paying your bills — and somehow falling further behind.

This isn’t random.

And it’s not just inflation.

It’s policy.

It’s trade decisions that increase costs instead of lowering them.

It’s energy policies that drive up your monthly bills.

It’s government spending that fuels long-term instability.

And while all of this is happening, Washington keeps doing the same thing — no matter which party is in charge.

That’s the part no one wants to say out loud.

Both parties talk about helping working families.

But if that were true, life wouldn’t feel this hard.

The truth is: the system is working — but not for you.

It’s working for insiders.

It’s working for institutions.

It’s working for the people who benefit from keeping things exactly the way they are.

And you’re left paying the price.

I’m running for Congress because I believe we need to reset the priorities of this country.

We should be focused on:

Not endless political fights.

Not policies that raise prices.

Not a system that ignores the people it’s supposed to serve.

If we keep supporting the same system, we’re going to keep getting the same results.

It’s time to try something different. We need a new way forward.
