RENO, NV – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) visited Orucase, a local outdoor recreation small business in Reno, to discuss how President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs are harming Nevada’s economy. In Nevada, 99 percent of all businesses are small businesses, and Trump’s tariffs are threatening their ability to stay afloat.
“President Trump’s reckless across-the-board tariffs are devastating Nevada small businesses — which make up the backbone of our state’s economy,” said Senator Rosen. “Today, I visited Orucase, a local small business that is in the crosshairs of this reckless trade war, to highlight how much small businesses are already being hurt from these tariffs. I will continue fighting back against these reckless policies in the Senate.”
“This tariff policy is not theoretical for us, it’s an existential threat,” said Isaac Howe, co-founder and owner of Orucase. “These duties will force us to raise retail prices, which will make it more difficult to operate and cost customers more. I’m grateful to Senator Rosen for her willingness to advocate for Nevada businesses like ours.”
In the Senate, Senator Rosen has been fighting back against President Trump’s reckless tariffs and the destructive impacts they’re having on Nevada’s economy. She recently led Senate colleagues in demanding that the Trump Administration reverse course on tariffs and provide relief for small businesses. Senator Rosen also helped pass a resolution in the Senate to overturn Trump’s tariffs on Canada.
