Ford at Tequilas: Tariffs and Small Business | Reno News

Nevada gubernatorial candidate Aaron Ford dropped in at Senor Tequilas, a local Mexican restaurant, not for lunch but to chat with owner Mario Jimenez about the crushing realities small businesses face. Jimenez revealed how low wages force his staff to choose between rent and groceries, while Ford blamed Trump’s tariffs — even citing his own lawsuit against them — as a key driver of rising costs. The duo highlighted how prices keep shifting, making stability impossible. This wasn’t staged — Jimenez snapped a photo to remember the moment — but a raw glimpse into how economic policy directly impacts everyday entrepreneurs and their workers. Ford’s visit underscored his pledge to fight “unlawful tariffs” and ease the burden on small business owners trying to survive and thrive.
