BOZEMAN, MT – In its most significant effort to date, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced support for Tim Sheehy’s bid for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Jon Tester.
AFP Action is getting involved earlier than ever before in federal and state primaries to elect better candidates who are strong advocates for policies that will improve the lives of all Americans.
Jesse Ramos, AFP Action-Montana Senior Advisor, issued the following statement:
“It’s time for Montana to rally around the candidate who can defeat Jon Tester next November: Tim Sheehy,” said Ramos. “Sheehy is a decorated veteran and Purple Heart recipient. Unlike Tester, Sheehy won’t be a rubber stamp for Biden. Instead, Sheehy will champion strong communities, educational freedom and fiscal responsibility to create a more prosperous Montana. We intend to put the full weight of AFP Action’s grassroots capabilities behind Sheehy and look forward to a new chapter of leadership in Montana and better future for all Americans in 2024.”
