With Trump’s tariffs officially in effect, Maria is continuing to put herself on the line to protect small businesses, consumers, and Washington’s trade-dependent economy, but she needs to know that we’re still standing with her.
We must stand with her as the Trump administration barrels ahead with its reckless trade war. Rush in $10 or more to help Maria fend off attacks →

Previous Message:
The Trump Administration’s massive tariffs officially went into effect, targeting 90 countries, including some of America’s largest trading partners.
Maria has been sounding the alarm for months about the impact these tariffs will have on Washington’s consumers, businesses, and economy at large. From national news appearances to meetings with local stakeholders,
Maria is doubling down on this fight.
“This is horrible, the cost to Americans in raising household costs, food costs, basically manufacturers having to pay more input costs and then raising manufacturing challenges for them—it’s just not what we need to do right now…We are a big trade state and we have benefited from building alliances and opening up markets, and now we are contracting those opportunities and making it more expensive on Americans.”
– Senator Cantwell at an event in Spokane last week NonStop Local KHQ (NBC), “Senator Cantwell calls for congress to retake authority on trade as new Trump tariffs take effect,” Aug. 7 2025
While Washington families work hard to make ends meet, Trump is treating our economy like a political game – creating chaos, driving up costs, and putting our jobs at risk.
Maria is going to keep leading the fight to stop this madness, demanding Congress reassert its power over tariffs and protect workers, consumers, and our economy, but she needs you in this fight.
We must defend our state from Trump’s reckless economic policies
together.
