Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC) Chair Debbie Dingell and Co-Chairs Lauren Underwood, Lori Trahan and Maxwell Frost released the following statement:

America is too expensive. Donald Trump and House Republicans promised to tackle the cost of living on day one. Instead, they are crashing the economy and dragging us to the brink of another Republican Recession. They have not done a single thing to make life more affordable in this country.

This week, House Democrats will hold a Cost of Living Week of Action, hearing directly from the American people as we aim to build an economy that works for hardworking taxpayers. Democrats will be out in full force this week talking to our constituents through town hall meetings, roundtable discussions and local site visits. 

We are battling in Congress, the courts and in communities across the land to stop Republicans from raising costs and making life harder for the American people. While Republicans are on the run, Democrats will be on the ground sharing our message in every corner of the country.
