Hamilton Urges Democrats Prioritize Affordability
Tap title to read story
Sen‑elect Adam Hamilton, who flipped deep‑red Kansas for Democrats, said Sunday that he hopes to prioritize lowering costs for his constituents in the next Congress and that he would be “deeply disappointed” to spend two years investigating members of the Trump administration.
He told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that the biggest priority for him and, he believes, for most Americans is helping people with the cost of living.
Hamilton urged the new Congress to immediately focus on ending the war in Iran and clawing back tariff policies.
He added that if he spent his first two years in the Senate on investigations, he would be disappointed and would instead focus on helping people in Kansas and across the country.
