Senator Mark Kelly Tackles Tariff Impacts with Arizona Dairy Workers in Tempe Visit
During a visit to a dairy facility in Tempe, Arizona, Senator Mark Kelly took an opportunity to connect with the workforce at the United Dairymen of Arizona. By sitting down with dairy producers and truck drivers, Kelly delved into discussions surrounding the tangible impacts of tariffs.
Kelly aimed to gauge the real-world effects of rising costs due to tariffs imposed by previous administrations, understanding how these economic pressures might affect the Arizona economy and its residents.
According to Kelly, tariffs with neighboring trade partners like Mexico and Canada could inflate operational costs, potentially squeezing local producers and their markets.
His visit was more than a political gesture. By engaging directly with the workers, Senator Kelly sought a deeper understanding of the dairy industry's operations within the state, gaining insights into their daily challenges.
In a statement from Kelly's office, the senator expressed his commitment to understanding the concerns of these workers, prioritizing the economic health of the industry and community.
