Mark Alford: President Trump is delivering lower prices, safer streets


(From Fourth District Congressman Mark Alford)

Folks, the July inflation report is sending a message — and the message is clear: President Trump’s economic agenda is working.

Prescription drug prices fell 0.8%, gas prices dropped 2.9%, and auto insurance costs fell 0.3%. Real wages are rising, and we’re seeing relief on everyday staples like eggs, poultry, and dairy.







This is what happens when promises are made and those promises are kept. Lower costs, stronger wages, and more money in the pockets of hardworking American families.

The policies are taking effect, and we’re seeing the results.

Violent crime is dropping

Violent crime is dropping across America — and it’s not by accident.

Homicides are down 17.2%. Robberies are down 16.6%. Rapes are down 6.2%. Aggravated assaults are down 5.7%.

Strong leadership works, folks. President Trump is delivering safer streets for the American people, and it’s showing up in the numbers.

This is what happens when we put law and order first.
