During the Biden administration, inflation hit working Hispanic families hard, the cost of living spiraled out of control, and concerns about our children’s future grew. Now, one year into the second Trump administration, families are feeling real economic relief and renewed security.

That’s promises made, promises kept.

Under policies of the past administration, inflation crushed Hispanic families, peaking at 9.1 percent in June 2022, the worst in four decades. That meant smaller grocery carts, delayed dreams of homeownership, and parents forced to choose between necessities. Today, inflation has been brought down to an average of 2.7 percent. For Hispanic workers who earn every dollar through long hours and sacrifice, that relief means more food on the table and more stability at home.
