This bill holds Congress accountable for the high gas prices caused by Donald Trump’s foreign wars and reckless trade policies by installing real-time gas price trackers in the House and Senate. 

Here’s what Michiganders are seeing about Rep. Haley Stevens demanding that Congress face the rising gas prices their policies have caused:
