Harrisburg, Pennsylvania—Today Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) congratulated Dave McCormick on his successful run to represent the Keystone State in the U.S. Senate.

AFP Action endorsed Dave McCormick for U.S. Senate in July 2023—well before McCormick declared his candidacy. Since April 1, the group has knocked over one million doors urging voters to send McCormick to Washington.

In a race decided by just over 30,000 votes, AFP Action’s grassroots army knocked on over 1 million doors to encourage Pennsylvanians to vote for Dave McCormick.

AFP Action Senior Advisor and AFP-PA State Director Emily Greene issued the following statement after the race was called:

“Thanks to our activists and volunteers, Pennsylvania will finally have a Senator who champions the policies that will improve life in the Keystone State. We know we can trust Dave McCormick to oppose wasteful Washington spending, advocate for meaningful border security, keep taxes low, and embrace an all-of-the-above approach to domestic energy production.

“This wouldn’t be possible without our outstanding and dedicated grassroots army that’s worked tirelessly to send a true policy champion to the U.S. Senate by knocking over a million doors!”

“AFP is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Dave McCormick in Congress next year.”

This has been a record-breaking year as AFP and AFP Action separately engaged in a staggering 647 races, including 7 critical U.S. Senate races and 44 U.S. House races. AFP and AFP Action’s grassroots army across the country reached out to more than 19.5 million voters – AFP and AFP Action’s largest effort in our 20-year history. AFP Action’s engagement in federal races is critical as we get back to promoting candidates who will advance good policy in Washington and AFP and AFP Action’s engagement in state legislative races continues their commitment to championing policy solutions and limited government principles that empower states across the country.
