I am deeply concerned about President Trump’s recent announcement of sweeping tariffs on imports, as reported by CNN on April 2, 2025. These tariffs, including a universal 10% duty on all imported goods and higher rates on specific countries, pose a serious risk to Washington State’s economy. Washington relies heavily on international trade, with key industries such as agriculture, aerospace, and technology depending on global markets. These tariffs could raise costs, hurt exports, and threaten jobs across the state. I urge you to: 1. Oppose Broad-Based Tariffs – Push back against policies that disproportionately harm Washington’s workers and businesses. 2. Advocate for Washington’s Trade Interests – Ensure our state’s industries have access to global markets without unnecessary restrictions. 3. Support Affected Businesses and Workers – Work on federal measures to assist industries impacted by these tariffs. Washington’s economy thrives on trade, and these tariffs risk undermining our competitiveness. I urge you to take a strong stance against policies that will harm our state.
