How do tariffs affect families in PA-10 according to Janelle Stelson?

Tariffs are essentially a tax — and when the government imposes high tariffs on imported goods, companies pass that cost on to consumers at checkout. Families in PA-10 are feeling it directly. In April 2026, Janelle Stelson held a press conference at a Harrisburg gas station where prices had reached $4.24 per gallon, connecting the spike to tariff uncertainty and the consequences of U.S. military action in the region. Stelson believes trade policy should protect American workers without making it harder for families to afford necessities.
