ARLINGTON, VA – As media reports now confirm majority control of the U.S. Senate will flip to the Republican Party, Americans for Prosperity President and CEO and AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Seidel issued the following statement:
“2025 starts now. In a year in which policy decisions in Washington, D.C. could define a generation, we are glad that Americans will have the right voices in the U.S. Senate to provide the vision and leadership the country requires. We said from the beginning that this will be the most unpredictable election cycle in recent memory and prioritizing the U.S. Senate gave us our best opportunity to elect candidates who can prevent the very worst policy threats and offer a better alternative. That’s why we backed strong candidates who had the principles and backbone to win, to lead, and to solve the greatest challenges facing our country.
“This is Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and AFP Action’s largest effort in our 20-year history. Our grassroots teams have been talking with voters for the past two years and have made more than 19.5 million total voter contacts. But our work is just beginning. While the election marks the end of operations for other groups, our sister organization AFP will continue to make their voices heard, helping to pass the public policy these candidates were elected to achieve. For those policymakers committed to championing policy solutions, they will have no stronger, more committed, or more effective ally than AFP. For those who forget that the American people expect principled public policy that helps improve their lives, AFP will be here to remind them.
“While majorities matter, they are never enough. We need to demonstrate every day why policies grounded in the core American principles of freedom and empowerment do far more to spread prosperity than top-down government control, no matter which party advocates it. The American people deserve policies that help improve their lives and AFP will never waver in our defense of core limited government principles and the freedom and opportunity that comes with them.”“Finally, we congratulate President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance on their victory. Their administration will face serious and daunting challenges, but there will be opportunity to advance policy solutions to address them. Americans continue to struggle to afford gas and groceries, the country’s finances are unsustainable, and a significant majority of Americans believe our country is headed in the wrong direction. Just as we have always done, AFP stands ready to work towards solutions on these important problems. Americans made their voices heard; now is the time to deliver on the promise of a better future. The stakes could not be higher, and failure is not an option.”
