## Resource

Guests include: Jason Sorens, Senior Research Fellow at AIER, rejoins the show to update listeners about the new tariffs implemented by the Trump Administration, what impact they could have, and if the reasoning behind them is strong enough to stop another challenge in court. Representative Mike Tagliavia (R-Orange-1) discusses GOP solutions to affordability and why voters should be skeptical of members of the Majority claiming they have the solutions to VT’s problems. Matt Griffiths, Chair of the Maine Young Republicans, breaks down the mess in the Democratic Primary for US Senate in the Pine Tree State and why voters should be concerned with Democratic Socialists running for office. and Andrea Murray, Candidate for VT State Senate Windsor District, talks about her campaign, fighting for rural Vermonters, and the need for more balance in the State House.
