Support H.R.2842 – Protecting Food Affordability and Agricultural Trade

I urge you to support H.R.2842, the “Stop Raising Prices on Food Act.” This legislation aims to limit the President’s authority to impose new or additional duties on imports from major agricultural trade partners, thereby safeguarding the affordability of food for American consumers and the stability of our agricultural economy. By requiring Congressional approval for such duties, H.R.2842 ensures a balanced approach to trade policy that considers the potential impact on food prices and the agricultural sector. This measure promotes transparency and accountability in decisions that directly affect the cost of living for families and the livelihoods of farmers. Supporting this bill aligns with our shared commitment to economic stability and food security. I respectfully request that you advocate for the passage of H.R.2842 to help maintain fair trade practices and prevent unnecessary increases in food costs.
