San Joaquin Valley, CA – After the “Debate of the State” between Congressman John Duarte and Adam Gray concluded Friday evening, AFP Action Senior Advisor Heather Andrews released the following statement: 

“Tonight, John Duarte shared a clear vision for a more prosperous California. As a businessman and farmer, Duarte has the experience to get our economy back on track and bring Central Valley values to the nation’s capital. 

“Duarte is a proven leader who is not afraid to stand up to Washington’s status quo when it comes to representing his community. During his time in Washington, he’s worked to bring down the cost of housing, gas, and groceries, and fought against the Biden-Harris administration’s radical spending responsible for making life more expensive. Congressman Duarte has a proven track record of tackling tough issues and taking common sense positions Californians can get behind.

“AFP Action is excited to support Congressman Duarte in his race to reelection and will continue working to get him across the finish line on November 5th.”

Topeka, KS – After tonight’s forum at Washburn University, Americans for Prosperity Action Kansas (AFPA-KS) is highlighting three key takeaways that demonstrate why Derek Schmidt is the best candidate for Congressional House District 02:

• Schmidt will be strong on immigration and work to promote solutions that address the crisis at the southern border and restore confidence in our nation’s immigration system.
• Inflation has cost Kansans $1,083 more a month since January 2021. In office, Schmidt can help address the cost-of-living crisis by supporting continued tax reform by extending the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
• As the former Attorney General, Schmidt has fought in Washington before and won for Kansas; he is best positioned to do that again.  

AFPA-KS Senior Advisor, Liz Patton, released the following statement: 

“Kansas voters are enthusiastic to get to the polls and send Derek Schmidt to Washington. Tonight, his opponents showed they are more focused on political attacks rather than solving the biggest issues facing our state and nation. In office, we look forward to Derek ushering in economic growth to help Kansas thrive and bring the cost-of-living down for hardworking families while also tackling immigration. Derek is the fighter that we need in D.C. representing Kansas values and AFPA believes tonight he proved that to voters in the district.”

Since endorsing Schmidt for KS-02, AFPA-KS has utilized its grassroots base as well as digital campaigns and mail to educate voters on his record. Click here to read more.
