CON P4' n SSMAN JOSH RILEY SERVING THE 19TH DISTRICT OF NEW YORK Hannah, Working families should be able to count on fair prices for food, medicine, and other essentials. But right now, when a crisis strikes, corporate giants can exploit emergencies to jack up prices on the things we need most, at the exact moment we're most vulnerable. It's a shake-down, and I'm working to stop it. Before I tell you about the legislation I just introduced to crack down on price gouging, I want to know where you stand: DO YOU AGREE THAT CONGRESS SHOULD BAN CORPORATE PRICE GOUGING DURING NATIONAL EMERGENCIES? NO Thanks for participating in this survey, and helping me better represent you. By responding to this survey, you are opting in to text, email and phone updates from our office. Last week, I introduced the Cracking Down on Price Gouging Act, the first-ever national ban on this kind of corporate profiteering during a crisis. My bill strengthens OST-2025-1200 Page 02694 Sierra Club v. Dept. of Transp. - 3:25-cv-06221 SC_EVERSPLIT0028405 the Defense Production Act and closes loopholes that let corporations hike prices and pocket record profits at our expense. It ensures that sellers can't charge exorbitant prices for critical goods during a crisis--and it imposes steep penalties on companies that try. Unlike the corporate lobbyists who hate this bill, I'm not here to protect Wall Street's bottom line. I'm here to fight for Upstate New Yorkers. Let me know where you stand. And as always, thanks for being part of this work. With gratitude and high hopes, Josh Riley Member of Congress Please do not reply directly to this email -- this mailbox is not monitored.
