Inflation is a hidden tax on working families, robbing them of their paychecks and pushing the American dream further out of reach. Due to Biden’s socialist policies and reckless spending in state Rhode Island, the cost of housing, food, and energy has soared on the federal and state level.
Vic Mellor, a builder and entrepreneur, understands how these rising costs hurt the working class. He has navigated tough economic challenges by founding businesses that create jobs and stability. He is running for Congress to bring common-sense fixes to Washington and put Rhode Island families first.
Vic views out-of-control inflation as a “money grab” and a “power grab” by elites and the government, similar to his critiques of other overreaching policies. His platform focuses on direct, tangible actions to lower costs for every Rhode Islander.
1. Achieve Energy Independence to Lower Prices
The volatility of global energy prices is a major driver of inflation, directly raising the cost of energy in Rhode Island.
2. Restore Fiscal Responsibility in Washington
Vic believes the government must stop fueling inflation through irresponsible spending.
3. Empower Small Businesses and Local Economies
Inflation disproportionately harms the small businesses that are the backbone of Rhode Island’s economy.
Vic’s commitment to personal responsibility and self-reliance, demonstrated through his businesses and community efforts, is the model for economic resilience. Vic and his family live the values of building a life through “blood, sweat, and concrete,” creating jobs and stability even in tough times.
Vic Mellor represents the working people of Rhode Island, not Washington insiders. He will bring his fighter spirit to Congress to tame inflation and ensure that hard-working families can afford to live, buy homes, and secure their future. No excuses.
