In a recent visit to a dairy facility in Tempe, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly took a moment to step away from the political discourse and sit with the actual workers who feel the economy’s pulse through the veins of their daily labor.
He engaged with dairy producers and truck drivers at the United Dairymen of Arizona to discuss the tangible whiplash of something often lost in the political shuffle—tariffs.
Kelly’s aim was to intimately understand how potential rising costs, stemming from higher tariffs enacted by the prior administration, could strain not just the businesses but the everyday Arizona residents.
The concern is genuine and immediate for these workers, as tariffs on trade allies like Mexico and Canada promise to only escalate the cost of doing business.
Such financial pressures threaten to thoroughly squeeze local producers and their markets.
According to a statement from Kelly’s office, workers took this opportunity to voice their jobs’ specifics and the overlaying concerns with tariffs.
Though the visit had its moments of poignancy as these workers shed light on their experiences, Kelly also made it a point to deeply familiarize himself with the dairy industry’s inner workings in Arizona. In a tour through the facility, he saw firsthand how dairy products are produced.
