MISSOULA, MT — Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced its endorsement of Aaron Flint in his bid to represent Montana’s first congressional district in the United States House of Representatives, backing a decorated combat veteran, fifth-generation Montanan, and longtime voice for people across the state.
Following the September 11 attacks, Flint returned to Montana and enlisted in the military. He went on to serve more than 20 years in the Army National Guard and Reserve, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan and supporting special operations missions in Africa and the Middle East. Flint earned two Bronze Stars and retired as a lieutenant colonel.
For more than two decades, Flint has traveled Montana from Ekalaka to Libby, giving a voice to ranchers, small-business owners, workers, and families too often ignored by Washington. That commitment reflects AFP Action’s grassroots mission of empowering people, expanding freedom, and holding government accountable.
AFP Action’s sister organization, Americans for Prosperity–Montana (AFP–MT), has long partnered with Flint to highlight the rising cost of living and bring relief directly to Montana families. Together, they held more than 100 events statewide and brought the voices of Montanans directly to Washington, D.C., including during the State of the Union.
Now Flint is running to bring that same service-driven, grassroots approach to Congress, focused on lowering costs, reining in spending, and restoring accountability in Washington.
Jesse Ramos, AFP Action Senior Advisor, issued the following statement:
“I’ve had the opportunity to know Aaron Flint not just as a leader, but as a friend, and what you see publicly is exactly who he is behind the scenes. For more than two decades, he has served his country, traveled Montana, listened to people, and made sure their voices are heard. He genuinely cares about this state and has built his life around serving it. That is exactly what our organization stands for: empowering people, not politicians. AFP Action is proud to support Aaron Flint for Congress.”
AFP Action will deploy its grassroots infrastructure in support of Flint, including door-to-door voter engagement, targeted outreach, and data-driven voter contact across Montana.
