As Alaskans endure 6 months of Donald Trump’s billionaires-first agenda, Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft released the following statement:
“Donald Trump, Dan Sullivan, and Nick Begich promised they’d lower prices in Alaska. Instead, at the 6-month mark, they have pushed a budget that will cost Alaska households $1,300 annually to fill the pockets of millionaires and billionaires, like themselves and their donors Lower 48 donors. Thanks to Trump, Sullivan, and Begich nearly 40,000 Alaskans will lose their health care coverage, and 5,000 Alaskans risk losing access to food assistance. After six months on the job, one thing is clear: if you’re not an ultra-wealthy donor, Trump, Sullivan, and Begich are screwing you over.”
At the 6-month mark, with the help of Senator Dan Sullivan and Representative Nick Begich, Donald Trump has broken his promise to everyone but his billionaire backers. In response, Democrats just launched TrumpTax.com to show what Trump is costing working Alaskans since stepping into office. Thanks to Trump, Sullivan, and Begich:

- 5,000 Alaskans are at risk of losing food assistance.
- 2,400 Alaskans could lose their job.
- Combined with Trump’s reckless tariffs agenda, the median household will lose nearly $1,300 annually.
- Alaskans’ electricity bills will rise by 0.9%.
- Trump’s reckless tariffs have already cost Alaska businesses $16.7 million.
