Back-to-School Shopping Costs Jump 8% in Biden and Blumenthal’s America

GREENWICH, CT – Connecticut kids are headed back to school, and families are experiencing sticker shock. Compared to 2021, back-to-school shopping is expected to increase on average 8% per child, leaving many families struggling to balance rising back-to-school costs with skyrocketing prices for food, gas, and other essentials. 

Statement from political outsider for U.S. Senate, Leora Levy:

“Touring the state and talking to voters, I hear stories every day from concerned Connecticut families that they are finding life more and more unaffordable in Biden and Blumenthal’s America. Economists estimate parents will spend $661 per child on back-to-school shopping – an 8 percent increase over last year. Blumenthal continues to vote for trillions of new government spending, further fueling inflation and putting a strain on family budgets. I am the only candidate in this race who will stop the spending, stand up to Biden and fight for Connecticut families.”

About Leora

I am running to take on the far-left whose policies will make our country look more like the Communist Cuba my family and I escaped in 1960 than the United States we have all known and loved. I am running for Senate to lead the fight for freedom. Joe Biden isn't on the ballot in November, but his policies are. The way to beat back Biden is to beat Dick Blumenthal, and I am the political outsider who can get it done.
