Kelly Visits United Dairymen of Arizona, Hears Directly from Workers on Rising Costs and the Impact of Tariffs

Today, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly visited a Tempe dairy facility to meet with producers and truck drivers to discuss how costs could rise for them and Arizonans with higher tariffs from the Trump administration. Tariffs on trade partners like Mexico and Canada will drive up costs and squeeze markets for Arizona producers, impacting their ability to export goods and increasing prices on dairy products at the store for Arizonans.  

During the visit, Kelly sat down with workers to hear from them about their jobs and their concerns with higher tariffs.

Following the discussion, Kelly toured the facility to see firsthand how Arizona’s dairy industry operates and how rising costs could affect production.
