Harrisburg, Pennsylvania—Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz in his race to represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate.
AFP-Action Senior Advisor Ashley Klingensmith gave the following remarks following the announcement.
“Dr. Oz knows what’s ailing Pennsylvania: too much government overreach. As both a physician and a businessman, he’s seen firsthand how government interference makes it increasingly difficult for doctors, patients, business owners, and workers to make a living, access health care, and pursue the American Dream.
“Pennsylvanians are struggling right now. Gas is over $5 a gallon and families can expect to spend an extra $400 or more a month just to maintain their standard of living. Pennsylvania needs a voice in the U.S. Senate calling for fewer top-down mandates and more bottom-up solutions—whether that comes from unleashing Pennsylvania’s energy sector or getting government out of the way of business. Senator Oz will be just what the doctor ordered.”
AFP Action will leverage a wide range of tactics, including the country’s largest grassroots outreach and mobilization, a full-time dedicated staff, and trained volunteers to educate and mobilize voters to support Dr. Oz’s campaign.
