LINCOLN, NE – In our most significant effort to date, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced its endorsement of U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts in the 2024 election.
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.
Nathan Nascimento, AFP Action Director issued the following statement:
“Nebraskans have seen tremendous leadership from Ricketts from his time as Governor and during his first year in the U.S. Senate. AFP Action is proud to endorse him in his bid for re-election in the 2024 special election. He has worked hard to drive major economic progress reforms and will continue to be a fighting force for economic freedom and American energy abundance.
“Ricketts remains a strong voice for Nebraskans. We intend to put the full weight of AFP Action’s grassroots and capabilities behind him to ensure he is re-elected next November.”
