“Instead of standing up for their communities, they will continue to let Trump destroy our economy”
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — 314 Action today launched a new campaign of radio ads in rural communities, slamming Republicans who support Donald Trump’s tariffs. The radio ads will air in 6 competitive districts, urging constituents to call their representatives and demand they stand up against Trump’s economic disaster.
314 Action is targeting the following representatives: Eli Crane (AZ-02), Gabe Evans (CO-08), Marianette Miller-Meeks (IA-01), Zach Nunn (IA-03), Ryan Zinke (MT-01), and Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07).
“No matter how they try to slice it, there’s no denying that the Trump tariffs are economic terrorism against the American people,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “These weak-willed representatives know that our farmers and rural communities are going to be hit the hardest. But instead of standing up for their communities, they will continue to let Trump destroy our economy. It’s time for Republicans to grow a spine and do the right thing.”
The ad launch follows Trump’s announcement of tariffing to pharmaceuticals, putting life-saving medication in danger. The six districts targeted are part of 314 Action’s targeted districts for the 2026 cycle. These radio ads are a part of 314 Action’s ongoing seven-figure advocacy work to hold Trump’s dangerous anti-science Administration accountable. The work builds off of 314 Action’s latest digital ad against Elon Musk’s disrespect towards veterans and a digital campaign calling for vulnerable House Republicans to stand up to Musk’s attacks on public health.
“Trump’s Tariffs” Transcript:
Trump casinos, Trump University, Trump steaks, Trump airlines—all went out of business or bankrupt.
Now Donald Trump is president and his disastrous tariff policies are leading our whole economy to a dark place.
Trump’s tariffs are a national tax on imported consumer goods, meaning the prices that we pay for almost everything will go up.
And because the world is retaliating against Trump’s tariffs, the prices of things we export—like the food we grow here—is going to be harder to sell.
Farmers working in middle class families, seniors living on fixed incomes will all feel the pain.
Recession is good for no one.
Already retirement funds have lost billions in value as the stock market tumbles.
Call Congressman Gabe Evans* and urge him to stand up to Trump on tariffs before he bankrupts us too.
Paid for by 314 Action.
*Name changes to each district’s representative.
