Reading a Ways and Means brief, Wisconsin Congressman Davidson highlights Miss Carrie Frost of Stevens Point and Oshkosh gypsum makers as examples of how local industries shape tariff views. Frost’s bait factory employs 15 workers paid weekly, protected 25 percent, and would struggle if tariffs fall. Oshkosh marsh grass products also rely on protection, showing how local cases influence national tariff policy and lawmakers’ incentives.
