Consumer Brands Statement on the 2026 Midterm Elections

ARLINGTON, Va. — The Consumer Brands Association issued the following statement from Melissa Hockstad, president and CEO, following the 2026 midterm elections:

“The most important issue for voters in this election was affordability, and the makers of America’s trusted household brands understand the importance of keeping costs low for American families. We make the essential products Americans rely on every day and are committed to providing consumers with the clear, reliable information they need to make informed choices. Consumer Brands looks forward to working with Congress and the administration in the months ahead on commonsense, science-based policies that strengthen product safety, promote recycling and sustainability, support fair trade and build more resilient supply chains. We are eager to build on these shared priorities to advance practical solutions that benefit American families and strengthen our economy.

“As the nation’s largest domestic manufacturing sector by employment, supporting more than 22 million American jobs and contributing over $2.5 trillion to the U.S. GDP, the consumer packaged goods industry plays a vital role in communities across the country.”
