Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs that will significantly raise prices on families in Illinois’ 17th district. 

“Tariffs are taxes that will make it more expensive for families across Central and Northwestern Illinois to afford their groceries or buy a new home,” said Congressman Eric Sorensen. “The tariffs announced today by the President are going to cost my neighbors an additional $5,200 annually, while also punishing farmers who sell their crops around the world. Let me be clear: my number one priority is lowering costs for neighbors and these tariffs are taxes on working families.”
