just found out congressman scott perry from pennsylvania has been pushing back hard against tariff plans that could hurt the chocolate industry there. apparently cocoa imports are a huge deal for local confectioners and manufacturers who employ thousands. his net worth sits around 1.4 million according to recent filings, which puts him somewhere in the middle of congress wealth-wise. what's interesting is that he's been pretty active with proposals on various issues, but this tariff thing seems to be a priority for him right now. the guy raised like 585k in q2 earlier this year and still had over a million in cash on hand. seems like he's got some decent political backing. not sure if it'll actually move the needle on tariffs, but at least someone's advocating for actual manufacturing jobs instead of just talking about it. scott perry net worth numbers aside, the real question is whether this push gains any traction with the administration. protecting domestic chocolate production is such a specific angle that you don't usually hear politicians focus on, but pennsylvania's got real stakes in this one.
